My Project

Hi! I am seeking donations towards fidgets, affirmation cards, stress balls, prizes and giveaways as part of social, emotional learning efforts that will take place at our school this year. I am the School Psychologist, so my job is to help students not even achieve academically, but to thrive socially and emotionally and build skills that will extend before the four walls of the school. I certainly want to make my office space inviting for students who are seeking individual supports; but let's face it, being in the classroom can become overstimulating. So having things like fidgets or being able to look at affirmation cards and so on can help students to tune out all other distractions and focus on what's important....their education.
