Note to self: Organized & Inspired

Help me give my students an organized learning environment - Because when we're organized, we thrive!

My Project

As a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), I work with students who need support in communication, language, articulation, and social skills. My days are filled with therapy session, progress monitoring, IEP meetings, and lots of planning to meet each student's unique needs.

Staying organized and inspired is key to juggling it all.

That's where this project comes in.

I'm requesting items like sticky notes, labels, file folders, lamination paper, pencil sharpener, pens and other organizational tools that will help me keep therapy materials, schedules and student progress neatly managed. These small but mighty tools make a huge difference in keep sessions effective, data collection accurate, and communication with families and teachers clear.

When I'm organized, I can focus on what matters most: helping my students find their voice, improve their speech, and grow their confidence. Every material listed is essential, helps me stay on top of my therapy plans and better support my student's success.

With your support, this "note to self" becomes a promise to stay organized, inspired and ready to give my students the best every day.
