As the new school year begins at Argyle Elementary School, Life Roads is proud to deepen our commitment to helping at-risk children and their families across Georgia. Back-to-school season should be a time of excitement—not stress—and thanks to generous community support, we’ve been able to make a meaningful impact once again.
This year, our team prepared and delivered sensory baskets for all 21 classrooms along with creating a peaceful Serenity Room for teachers. These additions are designed to help students manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and stay focused—while giving teachers a calming retreat to recharge throughout the day.
Why Sensory Baskets and Serenity Spaces Matter
This year, we expanded our support by adding:
🌟 Sensory Baskets for 21 Classrooms
These baskets include tools like fidget items, stress balls, calm-down cards, and tactile learning aids. They are designed to help students self-regulate, focus during lessons, and express emotions in healthy ways.
🌟 A Serenity Room for Teachers
Teacher burnout is real—and their well-being significantly influences student well-being.
Our Serenity Room includes:
- Soft lighting
- Comfortable seating
- Calming sensory tools
- Mindfulness resources
It’s a safe, restorative space where educators can breathe, reset, and return to the classroom renewed.

Supporting Students Through Essential Resources
Life Roads’ partnership with the Cobb County School District and specifically Argyle Elementary allows us to meet students where they are—providing assistance that directly affects their success in the classroom. Our programs include:
✔ Clothing Assistance
Providing new clothing, shoes, and coats so students can feel confident and comfortable.
✔ School Supplies & Toiletries
Ensuring no child falls behind simply because they lack access to basic necessities.
✔ Safe Transportation Support
Offering Uber cards to help families facing transportation challenges get their children to school safely.
✔ Weekly Mentoring & Academic Enrichment
Through the ASP reading and math enrichment program, Life Roads volunteers mentor students weekly. These small-group sessions help boost academic confidence and performance—and create meaningful, lasting relationships.
✔ Annual Bicycle Program
Our bicycle giveaway encourages academic excellence and good character. Paired with our bike safety rodeo, students learn lifelong safety skills while celebrating their achievements.
