Counselor at a Title 1 School

Help me give my students tools and resources to help them feel successful at school.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

All of these items such as the bean bag chair and calming ball will be used for my office at my new school. The school has no funding for me to purchase things to help students be successful; therefore, it is important that I gather essentials for my office to help student success. Students thrive and flourish in a structured environment and it is important that I have the items needed to create a healthy environment for them. I am seeking help to create that welcoming and supportive space with an area rug. Students do not often have the resources and funding needed especially getting back on track after Covid.
