Help me give my students a calming environment they need to succeed. The bean bag chair will be used for our calming center. Lockers will provide a secure space to store materials. Your assistance will make a difference.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. York's classroom raised $323

My Project
My students will be noticeably more engaged in school if they are given a calm space to reflect on their thoughts. There is lots to do throughout the day at school and therefore it is essential students, especially students with disabilities, to have a space where they can come, sit down on their bean bags, and reflect.
The goal of this project is to create a calming space where students can go comfortably to read, journal, and reflect on their day.
A place they can safely place their belongings and feel right at home.
More than half 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
