Help me give my students some social and emotional support during the most important time in their high school career as they choose their post secondary options, such as college, trade/vocational school and/or work.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are 12th graders and are eager and ambitious to apply to college. The stress balls and fidgets help them relieve some of the stressors behind applying to colleges and researching different career options for the next phase of their life.
While the college and career process can be a stressful process for many students, especially when it comes to writing personal statements, asking for recommendation letters and funding their education.
We help provide the guidance needed to navigate through this process. During the college application process we have stress balls and fidgets available to help them channel their nervous energy. Students are also provided with snacks which will provide them with the fuel they need to stay focused and on task. This will also serve as a positive reinforcement for academic progress, attendance, an increase in student engagement and as well as building community. It encourages students to work together and help their peers.
Our students can utilize the office supplies to keep themselves accountable by setting short term goals for themselves by using post its and the other office supplies to organize their work.
The goal for our seniors is to provide them with a calm, nurturing and supportive environment so that they are less stressed throughout the process. So that they can think clearly and make informed decisions about what they want for their future.
This is one of the most pivotal moments for them as a class because it is uncomfortable but yet a moment for growth. This is the year that they show other institutions the investment that they have made in themselves which afford them opportunities to continue growing. Please help our students continue to be great with your support.
