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
Our school is an alternative high school in Southern Colorado. We serve a diverse student population, many of which have experienced severe trauma in their lives. Providing our students with a sensory room where they can escape to is essential at times for them making it through the day. The items requested will allow students just that, an escape for a short amount of time where cell phones are not allowed and students can reset their minds and work on skills needed to cope and maintain their mental health.
The plants and lighting will create an environment for students that allows them to remove themselves from the classroom and transition into an environment that allows them to practice coping skills and return to their classroom in a better state of mind.
The puzzles and LEGOS requested will allow for students to relax their mind and focus on working with their hands, while engaging healthy parts of their brains and squashing the negative thoughts running through their heads.
These items and this room are not a luxury for our school, they are a necessity. Giving our students the tools and resources necessary to gain important coping skills is vital to our students and their mental health.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
