Support High School Student Mental Health

Please help me give my students more materials to help them de-stress and feel calmer!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Quintanilla's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

The materials requested for this project are all resources used directly by students in our classroom to support their mental health better. There are games and activities that help students de-stress, take breaks, and connect with each other. The books requested will be added to our classroom library to give students a wider variety of books to connect with. There are also materials that help create a calmer classroom environment, as our classroom, as is, currently needs a bit more warmth.
