Help me give my students plushies, fidgets and other items to create a stress free classroom and a place where they can express themselves and feel welcomed.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chavez's classroom raised $256

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
I truly believe a child’s mental health shapes their future—supporting it early helps them grow into strong, capable, and emotionally healthy adults. With your help I can offer them a safe and peaceful environment. I will use the sensory materials and activities to help them cope with their feelings and allow them to have time to feel better and be ready to learn. I will encourage open conversations about feelings and model healthy ways to cope with stress. Using the sensory system will provide a safe space for my little ones to enjoy!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
