New Student Wellness Center

Help me give my students self regulation and sensory items to be incorporated into our new Wellness Center. The bean bag chairs and crash pad will be especially beneficial for our students with anxiety and sensory issues.

My Students

We are a new middle school developing programs for our diverse students and their diverse needs. My students love to learn new ways to help each other and experience new ways to be a part of their school community.

As a part of a North Portland neighborhood, my students look to our school to provide opportunities for enrichment and encouragement.

I want to be able to provide some of those opportunities for their growth and well-being. We all want to give them a good foundation of skills as they transition into high school.

My Project

Many of our students experience anxiety, sensory issues, ADHD in addition to experiencing middle school issues. They need a relaxing and welcoming space that they utilize for self regulation and comfort in addition to accessing trusted adults.

The items chosen for this project will allow students to regulate their individual emotional needs on a regular basis or for intermittent drop in occasions.

All of the items are specifically chosen for their proven abilities to provide comfort and self regulation.

We are working to get the new Wellness Center up and operational by the beginning of the new 2019-2020 school year. The entire school staff is excited to have this space for our students. We hope it will provide that needed space for students to develop emotional tools for their success.
