Kait Jurrens from Harvey Dunn Elementary received $1,453.97 for her proposal, “Zen Den Toolbox.”

Kait plans to purchase sensory tools, fidgets, Zenimals, therapy putty, stress balls, marble mazes, and sensory mats that can be used by all 600 K-5 students. In the application, she wrote, “I will be creating a zen den in the building and individual social emotional learning baskets for classrooms. The zen den will provide a safe and calming space for students to self-regulate and work through their emotions. With the classroom baskets, students can use the tools to help them calm down and stay on task.”
