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
Help Me Create a Safe, Supportive Space for Students
I’m a first-year school counselor serving an incredible group of students in a low socioeconomic community.
Many of them face challenges beyond the classroom, and I’m working to create a warm, welcoming counseling space where they feel seen, safe, and supported.
With your help, I hope to fill the room with color, comfort, and tools for emotional regulation and coping — things like fidgets, feelings books, sensory items, soft seating, and calming visuals.
Every item donated helps create a space where students can breathe, talk, reset, and grow.
Thank you for believing that every child deserves a safe space to land.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
