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
I am requesting chimes for my students' overall mental health and well-being using sound vibrations.
Stress Reduction: School environments can be stressful due to academic pressures, social dynamics, and extracurricular activities.
Sound therapy, such as guided sound baths or calming music, can help students unwind, reduce stress levels, and promote relaxation during and after school hours.
Enhanced Focus and Attention: Certain types of sound, such as ambient music or rhythmic beats, can help students maintain focus and concentration while studying or engaging in classroom activities. By creating a conducive auditory environment, sound can improve cognitive performance and productivity.
Emotional Regulation: Adolescence is a period of emotional volatility, and students may struggle with managing their emotions effectively. Sound healing techniques, such as mindfulness meditation with sound or toning exercises, can help students regulate their emotions, cope with stressors, and develop resilience.
Improved Sleep Quality: Many students experience sleep disturbances due to academic demands, extracurricular activities, or digital device use. Incorporating sound-based relaxation techniques before bedtime, such as listening to calming music or engaging in guided imagery, can promote better sleep quality and overall well-being.
Social Connection: Participating in group sound healing sessions or musical activities can foster a sense of community and belonging among students. By engaging in collaborative sound experiences, students can develop social skills, build supportive relationships, and combat feelings of isolation or loneliness.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
