The "Zen Den"
Last year, thanks to your incredible support during our Boosterthon Fun Run Fundraiser, we set out to create a sensory room for our students—and we’re thrilled to share that it’s finally complete and in use!
What started as a simple idea turned into a much bigger project than expected. With the help of Fulton County, we were able to replace all the drywall and build a space that truly meets the needs of our students. The funds raised by YOU went toward installing soft blue wall mats and purchasing a variety of calming, sensory equipment designed to help students regulate their emotions and behavior throughout the day.
Now lovingly known as the "Zen Den," this space is available to students (with adult supervision) whenever they need a moment to reset. Just this past Friday, students had the opportunity to purchase Zen Den time—and over 30 students took advantage of it today!
Thank you to every family who donated and helped bring this vision to life. Your generosity has created a meaningful, lasting resource for our school community. We truly have the best families in Fulton County!
With gratitude,
Amy Lemons
Principal
