My Project

As a school counselor at an elementary school for students in grades 2-3, I have seen the rising and necessary need to provide more SEL to my students especially since the pandemic. Many students have experienced trauma at home and school and are also behind in their academics. I am requesting extra SEL and art supplies so that I can be doing more art therapy with my students (about 300 total for both grades Second-Third). I will also be integrating Mindfulness practices and sensory items that are also helpful in ensuring a trauma informed environment.
