Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

We are thrilled to introduce our latest Donors Choose project focused on providing therapeutic tools and resources for students at Friendship Southeast Academy, located Ward 8 in Washington D.C., who are navigating emotional challenges such as anxiety or stress. Our objective is to promote self-regulation and well-being by offering a diverse range of supportive interventions such as fidget toys and coloring books.

In our endeavor to create a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, we are seeking your support to fund essential therapeutic tools and resources that will empower our students to manage their emotions effectively and foster resilience in the face of adversity.

By equipping our students with a wide array of therapeutic tools and resources, we aim to:

Cultivate a supportive environment that acknowledges and responds to students' emotional needs.

Enhance self-regulation skills and emotional intelligence within our student community.

Improve overall well-being and mental health outcomes for students grappling with emotional challenges.

Your generous contribution to this project will directly influence the emotional wellness and academic success of our students at Friendship Southeast Academy. Together, we can build a compassionate and resilient community where every student is empowered to navigate their emotions effectively and flourish.
