Hi [Teacher/Administrator's Name],
I've been struggling with [anxiety/stress/fitting in/managing work/engaging in class] and found online resources at Doorstop Education that really helped.
They run schoolwide activities for free that could help us create a more engaged, understanding, and supportive learning environment for everyone. Talking to my friends and looking at their website, I think it could be cool to try.
One thing I really like about them (and want to be a part of!) is they co-create these activities and resources in partnership with students.
Would you consider reaching out and inviting them to [school name]?
Regards,
[Your name]
