In my first year as a school counselor, I'm dedicated to cultivating a positive and nurturing environment where each unique student thrives emotionally as well as academically. My project aims to secure resources that will amplify my impact, providing essential tools for creating a sensory-friendly counseling environment with the aquarium and saucer chairs. Your support will enable me to create meaningful connections, boost self-esteem, and foster resilience among our students. Together, we can lay the foundation for a brighter future for a wonderful and diverse group of students in Northeast Philadelphia to embrace their full potential.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
