Good Vibes, Bright Minds

Help me give my students the supplies, books, and SEL materials they need. Budget cuts have made it hard, but your support helps create a safe, happy, and inclusive place where every child can thrive.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Douglas's classroom raised $430

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

My students love to read and learn, and their natural curiosity about how things work lights up the classroom every day. They come bursting with personality and energy, always eager to dive into new ideas and ask big questions. For many of them, this classroom is more than just a place to learn—it’s a safe, welcoming space where they feel supported, inspired, and seen. It offers a much-needed break from the challenges they might be facing at home, giving them room to grow, build confidence, and just be themselves. Plushies in our calm corner help soothe them when they feel overwhelmed, while scissors, glue sticks, crayons, and markers unlock their creativity and keep them engaged. These simple tools make a powerful difference in helping our kids feel calm, included, and ready to tackle whatever comes next.
