Empowering Minds: Building SEL Skills for Lifelong Success

Help me give my students help the tools to build strong SEL skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hendrix's classroom raised $691

My Project

A strong Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program is essential for helping students develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and positive social skills. Having the right materials will allow me to create engaging lessons, provide hands-on activities, and offer meaningful discussions that support students in understanding and managing their emotions.

With these resources, I can help students build resilience, improve communication, and foster a positive classroom environment where they feel safe and supported.

High-quality SEL materials will ensure that lessons are interactive, relevant, and effective in equipping students with the skills they need to succeed academically and personally.
