Safe and Supportive Classroom

Help me give my students the tools to help them understand and respond appropriately to their feelings. Being at school can be tough. Bringing calm into our classroom will help so much!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Persinger's classroom raised $587

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

COVID-19 hit our neighborhood very hard. In addition to changing their relationship to school, COVID impacted many of my students' home lives through the loss of loved ones. Students are bringing emotional challenges into the classroom with them.

Your support will help make these young lives better.

Students will use the fidget and stress-reduction toys to learn to calm themselves. They will choose stickers to reward themselves for their good decisions. Multicultural colored pencils will help them see themselves in the art they create.

As our community gets back on its feet, our children are our number one priority. Thank you for helping make their lives better!
