Lighting the Fire of Mindfulness

My Project

Our students have worked hard this year and many of them have experienced a level of stress like we have never seen before and hope to never see again. Practicing mindfulness and relieving stress can be hard when you are young and lack the skills to do so. These candle making kits will allow students to make candles with smells that they like from essential oils, and help promote positive thoughts, actions, and feelings. The warmer will provide the heat to melt the wax for us to be able to make the candles. Students will be directly supervised during these activities and encouraged to talk with counselors if they are feeling down or need support.

Teaching students to be makers, use their hands, find things they enjoy, and manage their stress and personal feelings is difficult during good times, when you add the Covid-19 outbreak on top of it, managing middle school students can be quite difficult, but this project will allow us to provide them with an outlet.

Encouraging them to talk and how to appropriately deal with their feelings and discuss their needs is so important in helping them through this difficult time. It is also important that they relearn how to behave and react in a very social school environment. We think this project will help promote that.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
