Emotional Support

Help me give my students basic supplies that would allow them to be successful.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chelin's classroom raised $789

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Emotional support is a vital part of any classroom, helping students feel safe, understood, and confident in their learning. Many of my students face daily challenges that can impact their ability to focus, communicate, and build relationships.

By creating a supportive environment filled with encouragement and compassion, we can help them develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive, from pencils to pads for girls.

Your donation will directly contribute to resources that foster emotional well-being—tools like calming materials, visual supports, and sensory items that make a real difference in their day-to-day experience. With your help, we can ensure every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
