My Project

Social and emotional learning is an essential component for students' ability to express their thoughts, needs, and feelings throughout the school day so that they can be active participants in the school community and gain academically and emotionally. Our school works on social emotional learning via formal class lessons, throughout the school day via modeling, guidance, and support, and through one-on-one and group counseling sessions for students who qualify. Our students have educational classifications including but not limited to autism, emotional disabilities, and learning disabilities. Those seen for counseling have been identified as needing extra support when it comes to their ability to cope with the many stressors that they face throughout their day. In counseling, they are provided with a safe and supportive space in which they are taught skills involving positive psychology, problem solving, and coping skills. With a variety of techniques and modalities, they are able to learn about their own emotions, other’s emotions, how to express their wants, needs, and feelings, and how to cope with challenging circumstances. Books, toys, games, musical instruments, and art supplies, provide a venue for students to learn about their social emotional needs and provide them with a means of expressing themselves creatively. Attaining these items to be used in counseling, and by their teachers throughout the school day, will allow our students to reduce their emotional stress, improve their school engagement, improve their social skills, and improve their academic skills. They will be able to learn effective social emotional communication, empathize with others, and give them the tools to overcome social challenges throughout their school day. Thank you for considering this request. Your generosity will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our precious students!
