My Project

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them options to make more effective learning choices for their mental health. These items will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out and calming down their heightened mental state.

Students in the BRIDGE room don't have the access or opportunity to express themselves to be able take care of their own physical and mental health needs.

These supplies will help students that are often overlooked and treated as if they can't, when they ABSOLUTELY can!
