As an added bonus for students this year, Kempner High School’s counseling team transformed their office into a space for students to use when they’re not in class. With funding for their school site grant, “Be You, Be Still (a calming space for all),” they purchased Fiber Optic Corner Shower Lighting, a Sensory Room Aromatherapy Bundle, round bean bag chairs and soft rectangular seating for the space. The space also includes sand trays, journals, self-reflection books and stress manipulatives. Students can visit the area to self-regulate when they are over-stimulated or stressed. The peaceful environment will help increase academic achievement, decrease undesirable outbursts and have students leave feeling renewed.
