My Students

Be an emotional intelligence booster! Help our students become kids with great character so they can thrive in school and in the community. This knowledge will add to their academic knowledge and help them become successful now and into adulthood. They can become productive citizens of our world.

I am an elementary school counselor serving 700 students in a pre K-4th grade school.

I see each classroom twice per month for classroom guidance. Our school has a tradition of academic excellence and is rich with diversity. Our students are eager to learn new things!

My Project

I have requested a variety of materials including games, picture cards, music CDs, story books, and puppets. This will allow my students to learn character traits in a variety of ways. This will help cater to the learning styles of all students. During classroom guidance we will learn about and practice showing good character using all these exciting activities.

You will make a difference in the lives of my students with your donation.

Students will be able to learn about character in a way that is exciting and fun! Also, with good social skills my students will be more likely to excel academically. Students with good character are also less likely to have discipline problems. They will also be better equipped to build healthy relationships with people at school and in our community.
