Happy & Healthy: Creating Classroom Wellness

Help me give my students the tools they need for mental health and wellness!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rourke's classroom raised $499

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am requesting your support in creating an academic and emotional environment where scholars can thrive. Our ELA in Lusion classroom is a vibrant community where students from diverse backgrounds come together to learn and grow.

My students are hard-working, curious, and enthusiastic learners, and supporting their access to basic wellness will help them achieve their goals.

I aim to create a space for my students to feel supported, encouraged, and safe.

The classroom headphones I request will support individualized learning and increase focus as we explore rigorous content. Headphones will help my students with various learning needs by focusing on audiobooks, videos, and literacy apps at their own pace. The snacks I am requesting will give students energy and the ability to concentrate during a long, rigorous school day. We will also be able to address students' mental health by providing fidgets and sensory stickers. Students will feelreducedd anxiety with calming lighting and be able to participate in mindfulness activities such as coloring with colored pencils. Basicclassroomm andwellnesss supplies will be provided so students can focus on their academic success and increase overall wellness.

Thank you for your help in providing my students with what they need for their mental and physical well-being this year!
