Ms. Morningstar's Magical Class

Help me give my students art supplies, flexible seating furniture, and snacks that I can use for their social-emotional learning. They are hard workers and deserve to be able to relax.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Morningstar's classroom raised $1,040

My Project

Please help me give my students art supplies, flexible seating furniture, and snacks that I can use for their social-emotional learning. They are hard workers and deserve to be able to relax and feel positive. These items will help my students because they will be able to express themselves, help with their coping skills, and help them feel comfortable and safe when they come into my room. My students have gone through a lot, most of them have lost their homes in the fire, and I want to brighten their day. They are resilient individuals who continue to show up, do their work in school, and deserve to be happy and smiling. The items that I am asking for will impact their learning in a positive and a therapeutic way. My goal is to provide them with a safe place where they can use these items to impact their social emotional learning.
