Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Hello All,

I have been GCPCS's school-based mental health clinician for a couple of years now!

I love seeing each one of our students grow every day and take on new challenges. Throughout my time here at GCPCS, I have utilized a large portion of my funds to provide several materials to aid in our students' success. I value each one of my students, so I never questioned providing them with access to the best materials, even if it meant providing the items myself!

My students greatly appreciated the products I have provided. We have used them in multiple ways including play therapy and/or regulating their emotions. Many students love reading new books with me. Other students enjoy utilizing fidgets and stress balls, when in need. The hottest commodity is the sand tray and kinetic sand! All of these materials have been so popular that I am now low in many of my materials. As our school continues to grow, it has made it difficult to provide the needed quantity of items so that every child has access when needed.

At GCPCS, we are a family here. I will take this time to lean on my family and ask for assistance in providing for our students! I am honored that donors have allowed me the platform to request assistance and I am very appreciative to those who choose to donate or pass the message along!

With gratitude,

Ms. Holder
