As the school counselor, one of my main responsibilities is to address the needs of the "whole child" and treat every student holistically. My students come with varying needs, and over 90% belong to impoverished homes. Their diverse cultures, needs, and experiences mean that one size does not fit all when it comes to guidance and counseling.
At my school, I wear many hats and I facilitate a vast diversity of students' and teachers' needs alike.
Currently, the capacity of my school budget has been limited and funds are usually used out of pocket. As the school counselor, I take a very active role in my students' lives. I visit classrooms daily and give presentations that build character and educate the students about hygiene, core values, and social behavior. Being heavily involved means sacrifices to ensure our mission is being met each year and that is providing an equal opportunity to each student who walks in our educational organization.
My Project
My school is located in North Miami. Many of our kids are from very low-income homes and lack even the most basic school supplies and materials. Providing my students with new materials is an academic win for them and can really make a difference in their year and their future. Any materials we can provide these students on a daily basis can help limit stress, keep them on track and increase our time on learning.
These deodorants, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other hygiene products will be given out on a needed basis to our homeless students.
They will keep clean, healthy and positive throughout the school year. These products will also go a very long way in limiting embarrassment for these students and keeping them in school.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
