Excited to announce I have been named a Fund for Teachers Innovation Circle Grant recipient!!! My project proposal studied the rising issues in school aged anxiety and mental distress. I am honored that this grant will give me the opportunity to study mindfulness, yoga, and culture in Indonesia
, Singapore 
, and Malaysia 
. Once returning I will be meeting in groups to brainstorm with fellow grant recipients on ways to implement strategies to combat this issue facing schools.
Congrats to all of my fellow recipients:
Update: What an incredible and life changing experience. This opportunity came at the right time as I ended up facing some of the most anxiety ridden times of my life as my mom fought cancer. I also had an extremely challenging year with my classroom. The tools I learned in this grant helped create a better environment and help students manage stress and emotional breakdown.
I ended the fellowship by presenting to other teachers across the country. My post fellowship report can be found here: https://fft.fundforteachers.org/fellowships/view-passport/MzUwOGZmdA==
