My Project

Middle school can be a challenging time, especially for students facing personal, emotional, or financial struggles. Our counseling office serves as a refuge where students can find support, stability, and care. We're seeking clothing essentials for our school closet to help students who may not have access to clean, comfortable, or weather-appropriate clothing. We’re also requesting fidget tools to support students dealing with anxiety, trauma, or attention challenges. These tools help students stay focused and emotionally regulated during the school day. Your support will provide dignity, comfort, and calm for students who need it most.
