My Students

My fourth graders are exemplary leaders who look for every opportunity to help and uplift each other. Since our school year began, my students have set and tracked academic and behavior goals, encouraged classmates to work toward goals, and celebrated the success of peers. Many of my students also joined the Make-A-Difference Club, which I sponsor. We focus on community service projects including making care baskets for domestic violence victims, organizing pet food drives for our local animal advocacy groups, purchasing, wrapping, and donating gifts to families in need, and initiating a school-wide recycling program.

My Project

When students come to my room, they are often in crisis and feel like they aren't in control of their emotions.

Comfortable seating options can provide students with a sense of safety and help them to identify and regulate their emotions.

This Flex seat Lounge and Learn chair will provide a much needed addition to our safe space.

Combining this seat with the practice of coping strategies, kids will much better equipped to face the difficult challenges they encounter on a daily basis.

Your donation will support a meaningful project and will make a huge difference in the lives of my students.
