My Project

In order to help my students cope with the trauma that the Lahaina fires have caused, I have requested the listed items. A carpet in order to start the process of providing flexible seating, speakers to play calming music while students are working/stressed, and compact fidget foot steppers in order to better help those with ADHD to focus on the day's task. The art supplies are in order to help us create more projects (I intend to order more supplies ASAP). The chair is for one-on-one conferences with students in order to help address concerns. My goal for all of these supplies is to create a space where students feel safe enough to learn and comfortable to open up if they need to. Mahalo for all of your support in helping my students!
