The Wellness Center

Help me give my students a clean and organized space. The printer and laminator will help me reuse materials for group work and 1:1 sessions. The printer is an item that is hard to get in a school.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to help fund the Wellness Centers (Middle School section) located within the Long Beach Unified School District.

The vision of the Wellness Center is to create a safe space on campus where students can receive support through services such as: counseling, educational workshops/presentations, special interest activities (art, music. yoga, etc..), community resources and more! The goal is to make all students feel welcomed and have access to the support they need.

We would be grateful for your contributions from this Wishlist to help keep the Wellness Center clean and organized. The laminator will be used to reuse materials for groups and sessions. Printers in a school are hard to come by and would be useful to print out confidential materials in my room rather than in a shared copier. Helps keep the confidentiality and it will not get taken by another staff member.
