Seeing them set up the goals, challenge each other, and celebrate small wins has been incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, these girls are gaining so much more than soccer skills. They've found a space where they can move freely, express themselves, build confidence, and feel like they belong. Being part of this program has helped them grow both physically and emotionally, and that wouldn't have been possible without you.

As soon as I started the setup, my students noticed and they gravitated towards all the neat things you helped provide for them. I'm happy to report that they've been great about respecting the space and using it appropriately. \r\n\r\nI plan to use the calming corner for students who are visibly anxious or down. In the past, I've had students ask to step outside or go see their counselor. This provides an additional option for students who may just need a moment to calm down or decompress. I also plan on having a catchup Friday once a month for students who need additional time to complete missing assignments. Students who are caught up with all their work will be able to play games or enjoy the calming corner to relax with a couple of friends. \r\n\r\nI am extremely excited about this project and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me put it together.
