The Cat on the Mat brings Wellness to Bunker Hill

Help me give my students wellness materials for our Cat on the Mat event

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maloney's classroom raised $1,659

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year Bunker Hill elementary school celebrates their love for reading with a schoolwide event for Read Across America Day. Last year as a school I designed a fun filled day with a Coachella themed reading day " SeussChella". Students participated in tons of fun reading activities and had fun snacks and fun. This year. This year the Cat in the hat had so much fun, he decided to go on a retreat to work on his wellness and bring all the books, yoga moves, breathing activities, and other mindfulness and wellness tools to share with the students at Bunker Hill at our annual celebration. These items will be used for the event, and will be used for other days when we stop and take a pause for our school wellness.
