To Stock a Counselors' (Mobile) Office

Help me give my students everything they need in a mobile, on-the-go office!

My Project

Imagine a mobile oasis of support and comfort rolling through the halls of our school, ready to assist students in need at any moment. Counselors are frontline caregivers, providing essential emotional and academic support to students. However, we often find ourselves lacking the necessary resources to meet the diverse needs of our student body effectively. That's why I am asking for help to stock my counselor's cart with the essential items students need for success.

My students deserve the best I can give.

By donating to this project, you're not just providing supplies such as pencils, heating pads, snacks, and fidgets; you're investing in my ability to immediately respond to student needs. Bins will be used to organize items on the cart so that I can (quite literally) meet students where they are with whatever they may need-be it a snack so they can focus, a heating pad for muscle cramps, ice packs for injuries, pencils so they can complete their work, or fidgets to help them focus.

Together, we can ensure that every student has access to the support and resources they need to thrive.
