Help me give my students journals and books to build the skills they need to overcome obstacles to their learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pelto's classroom raised $805

My Project
As a school counselor, I have the ability to positively impact the social/emotional learning of every student in my school. The books will make a difference in my students' learning through the stories the books tell. They'll be utilized in my classroom and small group counseling lessons. The sensory items will help calm students in class and in my office while they learn new coping strategies.
By learning to manage and overcome their obstacles, my students will be able to focus better, stay calm, get along, and succeed in school.
Nearly all 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
