Making a Creative Space for Healing
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jennifer's classroom raised $683
This project is fully funded
My Project
Penrose Elementary is a Kindergarten - 8th elementary school. The students I work with are wonderful, inspiring children who have too often experienced psychological trauma and other hardships. As a therapist who previously worked in outpatient therapy sites, it has been difficult re-creating in school the kind of therapeutic, creative, and soothing environment that supports children in their healing.
Therapy tools for children are not cheap and, unfortunately, our under-resourced public schools are generally not able to provide them. I would love your help in building the therapy space and experience my students deserve!
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community & an Anonymous Partner
and 6 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
