My Project

We have an amazing group of 5 to 12 year old learners. Sometimes they need a break or a calm, safe place to reset and restart their day. The counseling room is the space we use for these moments.

Students sometimes need tools like calm strips, fidgets, stress balls, or other items to help focus and calm down.

With this project, we would be able to provide these tools for students to use both in the counseling room and the classroom. They can read a book, use manipulatives, or just take a break. We also use TPT to pull resources for our students to use in individual or small group counseling sessions. The counselors often buy this out of pocket, so the gift cards would go a long way to help provide for our student activities and lessons.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
