Take a Breath with Fun Friday Breaks

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Yusko's classroom raised $756

My Project

COVID-19 impacted our students' social interactions. My student council leadership is a great group of 4th and 5th graders that are hoping to plan SEL activities for their fellow classmates on Fridays during recess and lunch, as an alternate to the noisy recess and lunch spaces.

These resources will allow us to host "Fun Friday" brain/stress break opportunities, giving students a chance to socialize in a calmer setting.

The games, books, and STEM building materials will let us have activities for students interested in small group social interactions, or for kids that just need a few moments to take a stress break. All of these activities will help us to practice social skills again: talking, taking turns, and making new friends.

Thank you so much for supporting our leadership students!
