My Project

These supplies are very needed for my Guidance room to allow students to have a clean, organized room to have sessions with me in, as well as have small groups and lunch bunches. These will directly help my students by being accessible to them to create a welcoming and safe environment for them to visit. The flexible seating, calming lights, and therapy supplies will assist in creating the welcoming space. I will be able to continue to help my students learn social-emotional skills that they can apply in their everyday lives and continue to improve on for the rest of their lives. Thank you for everything you do!
