My Project

This project aims to provide middle school students with a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they can socialize, relax, and build positive relationships. By offering puzzles and popcorn/chocolate, we aim to create a casual and enjoyable atmosphere that fosters emotional well-being and community spirit.

Our goals are to create a safe and inclusive space.

Provide a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable and accepted.

We try promote social interaction and encourage students to engage in meaningful conversations and build friendships.

We want to support emotional well-being and offer a relaxing and enjoyable activity to help students manage stress and anxiety.

We want to foster a sense of community and create a shared experience that brings students together.

By providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment through puzzles and popcorn, this project can make a significant contribution to the social emotional growth of our middle school students.
