Want to join me in making a difference? We are raising money to build Lafayette Preparatory Academy an Outdoor Calming Space.
Ms. Gould and Ms. Major have spent time designing a plan for an outdoor sensory/calming space for our children in our middle school courtyard. In our initial phase, the area will feature swinging and rocking seating options, a calming water fountain, plants, and an amygdala reset kit.
We hope to expand this space if enough funding is available. The extra items would require an additional $1,500 and includes the following wish list items:
- Sensory wall
- Lightboxes
- Water wall
- Sun Screen
- Sandtray/Sensory box
- Glider
- Emotional regulation fidgets
A Calming Room is a space that is meant to be a supportive therapeutic environment that assists children in self-calming efforts by offering them a designated space to relax and self-regulate
Emotional regulation is important for mental health, academic achievement, and positive social relationships, which are crucial skills for success in life.
If you or someone you know would like to help LPA with this project we would love your support by donating or sharing our campaign.
