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
The counseling office is like a cozy hideaway for students of all moods! Whether they’re riding high on happiness, feeling down in the dumps, or just needing a little chill time, this is the place to be. With a treasure trove of fidgets, conversation starters, and playful toys, students can find their groove and tackle whatever life throws their way!
A school counseling office is not just a place where students can learn how to better address their problems by developing their coping skills; it's about creating a safe space where students can express themselves freely and learn valuable life skills.
It's a place where laughter is encouraged, tears are comforted, and every student leaves feeling a little lighter and more equipped to face the world.
Every interaction becomes an opportunity to connect, understand, and support each student's unique journey. These tools, though simple, open doors to deeper conversations and insights, allowing us to build impactful relationships. In this inviting environment, students can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and gain confidence in their abilities. The presence of such tools transforms the counseling office into a nurturing space where growth and healing flourish, fostering a community of empathy and resilience.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
