My Project

Help my students manage anxiety and stay focused by providing fidget tools! These small items make a big difference for teens who face daily emotional and academic challenges.

Many of our students face significant barriers, including trauma, mental health struggles, unstable housing, and academic setbacks.

Despite these challenges, our students show tremendous resilience, creativity, and the desire to succeed. They thrive in environments that offer flexibility, emotional support, and hands-on resources to help them stay regulated and engaged.

In the past, fidgets have been a game-changer in our classrooms and counseling office, but our current supply is worn out or lost. With your help, we can replenish and expand our selection of calming tools so every classroom has access, and students who need them don’t have to go without.

Students will use fidgets during class, in small group counseling, and in our calming room. Teachers and support staff will distribute them as needed, and they will be available in self-serve stations for students experiencing anxiety or dysregulation.

Your support directly impacts the emotional well-being and learning readiness of teens who often feel overlooked or misunderstood. With these fidgets, you’re helping students take control of their anxiety, stay in the classroom, and succeed on their terms.

Thank you for believing in them.
