My Project

Hello DonorsChoose Supporters,

Focusing during class can often be difficult for students who encounter feelings of stress, anxiety and worry.

Having fidget and sensory items can assist students with self-regulation, leading them to redirect their attention to their academic goals in class.

Your kind contribution supports students' emotional and academic well-being.

We are kindly requesting funds to provide items that will enhance student's social-emotional well-being. With your assistance, students will be able to have an additional coping mechanism during class to shift their focus to academic performance.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and contribution!

Ms. Vazquez Rosa Parks Elementary School Grades 3-5
