My Project
My 4th grade students at our School are bright, curious, and full of creativity. They thrive when given opportunities to explore, imagine, and express themselves—but they also face daily challenges that can make focusing and learning more difficult.
This project combines the excitement of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities with the calming support of a dedicated space for emotional regulation and mindfulness.
With your help, I hope to provide hands-on STEAM supplies like building kits, art materials, and coding tools that inspire innovation, along with calming tools such as sensory items, soft seating, and mindfulness resources to create a peaceful corner where students can recharge.
Your support will help spark their imaginations while giving them the space they need to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Together, we can build a classroom where creativity meets calm—and every student has the tools to succeed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
