Empowering Futures: A Social Work Classroom Initiative for Positive Change
Help me give my students a supportive environment by contributing to a calm corner as well as activities and resources to promote social emotional learning such as A Little SPOT of SEL, beanbag chairs, and fidgets.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Giselle's classroom raised $703
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
This is my first year as a School Social Worker! I am so grateful for the opportunity to support my students in their social emotional learning by providing a supportive environment and resources to help them succeed in their education.
Since this is my first year, I am requesting support in funding supplies for my classroom to create a calm corner and have mental health resources/curriculum for anxiety, anger management, mindfulness, ADHD, etc.
There are multiple students in our school who struggle with multiple barriers that keep them from being able to adhere to their education to the fullest. My goal is to create a supportive calming environment and have resources such as A Little SPOT of SEL, beanbag chairs, and fidgets available to help promote their social emotional learning and overall mental health. Your donations will help contribute to my very first classroom and support my student’s emotional wellness!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
