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 Students

I am a School Counselor in an upper elementary building that serves grades 4-6 with approximately 330 students enrolled. Our students are kind-hearted, thoughtful, and fun! They never cease to amaze me with their hunger for learning, However, a large number of our students require high emotional support and behavioral interventions. As a School Counselor, I strive to provide my students with a safe comfortable space to guide and help my students to work through any emotional struggles they face.

My Project

I am a school counselor at a low income school district. Our students come to school eager to learn! Their excitement for learning never ceases to amaze me. This school year we have completely run out of copy paper. Unlike most schools, we have limited computers and our students require the use of paper for most learning. This year, we have completely run out of paper for the year and are looking for donations due to our limited budget. We also have PSSA testing coming up which requires pencils, which we also have a shortage of. As a school counselor, I like to provide kids with an incentive of winning a snack if you come to school on testing day!
