Education Offers Calm Environments and Rewarding Opportunities!

Help me give my students different options for calming and card games when they are on Rock Star Break when they are in the office.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Michaud's classroom raised $678

My Project

At SES our staff believes in meeting the child where they are currently. Sometimes that may mean offering them calming tools. At other times it may mean celebrating their success by taking a Rock Star Break! The sand timers, liquid motion bubblers, and fidget toys are items that would be used when we see the children for the listed reasons above. A student will always remember how they are treated and what better way to celebrate a child than to spend time with them or offer them a calming opportunity they feel good about. Thank you for supporting our future!
