School Social Work Office Makeover

Help me give my students SEL activities to enhance emotional intelligence and behavior.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Durr's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

My Project

The school social work office is the one space in the entire building where students come to feel safe and comfortable so that they can feel free to openly express themselves and unwind. All of the materials will help with this. These materials also represent student's interests and involves materials that will help the students to develop important social emotional skills which it crucial during high school years. Investing in this environment will undoubtedly bring joy to all of the students who enter and will create a culture of nurture, care, and support.
