Ms. Magee's classroom raised $1,000

Making Math Class a Healing Space

Help me give my students flexible seating, calm lighting, and peaceful plants for a healing classroom decor.

Saint Paul, MN Grades 9-12

My Project

This is my 2nd year at GPHS, a St. Paul alternative school dedicated to helping students graduate and achieve lifelong success.

Last year, the community helped so much with making my classroom a healing space.

However, this year, I am in a new classroom this time with windows! I need your help making it a space where my students feel comfortable and calm to optimize focus and learning.

This year, I want to add more lighting, more flexible seating, and plants for an overall calming environment. My students need a sofa, beanbag chairs, plants, and basic supplies.
