My Project

In our school counseling and school social work offices we prioritize fostering emotional growth and well-being among our students. Your generous support will help us acquire sensory, play, and art supplies, empowering our students to overcome challenges and thrive academically and emotionally.

These tools have been proven highly effective in helping students express themselves, develop emotional intelligence, and build coping skills, all of which are vital to being able to succeed in the classroom.

By incorporating these approaches, we address the social and emotional needs of our students.

Your support will establish a supply of sensory items like fidget toys, stress balls, and painting supplies. These calming tools will help students regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus during meetings with the school counselor and social worker.

Through play items like puzzles, building toys, and games, students can express themselves comfortably. Age-appropriate toys and creative materials facilitate emotional processing, problem-solving skills, and self-esteem development. Art provides students with a creative outlet to express emotions visually.

In addition, your donation will fund snacks so that students who may have skipped snack or breakfast are able to quickly get the food they need to help them focus!

Your support will directly impact students' lives and the overall school community, fostering emotional support, coping skills, and a sense of value. Thank you so much!
