Help me give my students tools to help with their mental health. Fidgets, sensory items, and art supplies can make a lasting impact by helping students express their emotions, manage stress, and build important coping skills.
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
As the new mental health specialist at SMA, I am truly passionate about helping our students overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, and school stress. Every day, I see the incredible potential in our students, but they need the right tools to navigate their emotions and thrive. That's where you come in! With your generous donations of art supplies, fidgets, and anxiety coping tools, we can provide essential resources that empower students to express their feelings, process their emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies. Your support will create a safe, healing space where students can build resilience, improve their mental well-being, and unlock their full potential. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their lives and help them rise above their challenges!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
