My Project

Your support helps our counseling office provide students with the resources, encouragement, and support they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Counseling supplies such as fidgets, journals, coping tools, and activity materials give students hands-on ways to manage stress, regulate emotions, and work through difficult situations.

Donations also ensure students and families have access to essential personal care items when they need them most.

Removing basic-needs barriers helps students focus more fully on learning, building relationships, and participating in school. Thank you in advance for your support! (:
