Second Semester Blues Busters

Help me give my students snacks for when they are hungry, water for when they are thirsty, and activities as well as tools to cope when they are in their feels.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mosby's classroom raised $493

My Project

We have a group of bright and beautiful students at our school, but the Wisconsin winter has hit them hard with the second-semester blues. For this project, I have requested both personal hygiene items as well items that can be used for mental wellness tools.

I am hoping that the fidget toys, activity books, and sketch pads can keep them calm and engaged inside no matter how gloomy and frigid it is outside.

The activities along with snacks and water seem to help students maintain their attention in their classes and they provide a nice pick-me-up for them. And of course, I don't mind them stopping by for a nice chat and check in when they need something.
