Read in Comfort and Tranquility

Help me give my students a new chair and fountain for a calming Zen area in the library.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Anderson's classroom raised $535

My Project

I am seeking support to provide students with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere for reading and mental recharging. With the addition of a new comfy chair and fountain, we can create a relaxing Zen space that provides a relaxing and calming area for students. Sensory strips will be used to help students decompress in the Zen space.

The items I listed will help keep students coming to the library to read and relax.

This project will provide students a place to relax from the many stressors at home. My students, like many in low socioeconomic communities, deserve a safe haven. Your contribution will make a significant difference in enhancing our high school library environment and ensuring students have and area for positive mental health.
