My Project

This Nourish and Nurture project is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our students by establishing safe and comforting spaces in our school!

We aim to provide snacks and drinks, a fan for cool air, a diffuser, digital clock, sensory toys and activities, books that represent our students and posters and pillows to create a safe space in school where students can find solace and support which would help them transition between classes, decompress and foster a sense of security and emotional well-being.

The benefits extend beyond tangible items, as students gain access to a retreat where they can recharge, relax, and cope with the demands of school life!

Ms. Austin Intermediate School 364 Gateway Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
