My Project

Please help me provide light covers for the fluorescent overhead lights in my classroom so that my students have a calming and tranquil environment. We are also in need of essential oil refills as well as LED lights to add to the border of the class when we are in need of SEL breaks. We've been teaching social-emotional learning lessons on a regular basis, and it's so very important to the climate of the classroom. Academics and mental health really do go hand in hand and our goal is to teach these children skills that will transform them long term.

Thank you for helping provide these valuable items, such as the light covers, LED lighting, and essential oil refills for our diffuser to our classroom to promote mental health and wellness.
