Myles Gosmire from Lincoln High School received $700 for his proposal, “Grant for Behavior Room.”

Myles will purchase magnetic fidget stones, tangle therapy, stress gel fidget balls, thinking putty, puzzles, games, felt pieces, clay, origami paper, Legos, yoga mats, art supplies, and other calming devices for students who need a brain break. In the application, he wrote, “With these items, students will have a dedicated space with materials they can use for self-regulation. They will help students calm down during appropriate break times, rather than students being out in the hall, bathroom, or other places they should not be. If we have these tools available and we encourage students to use them, it will help us build stronger connections by tapping into students’ interests.”
