My Project

We are a K-12 school with 576 students. We are a small island with 8 miles of paved road and isolated by water from other islands. We have many students with social, emotional, and psychological needs that sometimes get overlooked because of the lack of resources. The resources you provide help students understand feelings, process emotions, and build resilience when faced with traumatic situations. The resources not only provide a safe, comfortable, healthy environment but with their skills to handle different stressful situations. Your support makes a difference in the lives of our students here in at our school.

These highlighters, sticky notes, dry erase markers, and other supplies can help students to read emotional coping texts that I have in my classroom.

Ms. Menze
Grades 3-5
