We have a beautiful space which has windows letting the light in and is relaxing. We are in the process of transforming it into a Retreat area for students. There are times when a student may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, angry or having trouble focusing. The Retreat space will be a calming spot for students. There will be resources available for students to use that can help in the process of emotional regulation. Mrs. Klaassen's office is adjacent to it so she is able to check-in with students and support them. Please follow this page so you can see updates as it is transformed. If you would like to donate to the project, please click HERE to go to the Donors Choose page where funds are being raised.
To the left you will see the "BEFORE" picture of our future Brain/Mental Health Retreat area.
Below you will see the AFTER pictures. We continue to keep adding to it and are excited to see how it transforms and helps to meet students needs.
We have completed our Donor's Choose projects and the Retreat Room is fully equipped. Of course, there is always room for more things to be added but students are finding the items that we have are great. They love the space and just having a spot to go, relax, find their calm and get ready to go back to class.
