The coffee station has become a natural icebreaker, helping students feel more at ease, lowering anxiety, and fostering genuine, organic conversations.\r\n\r\nWe've seen an increase in:\r\n\t•\tPositive student engagement\r\n\t•\tRelationship-building opportunities\r\n\t•\tBrief check-ins that identify needs earlier\r\n\t•\tA sense of belonging within the school community\r\n\r\nStudents describe the space as \"calming,\" \"a reset,\" and \"somewhere that actually feels like they care.\" For many who face stress, academic pressure, or personal challenges, something as small as a warm drink helps them regulate, breathe, and feel connected.\r\n\r\nThanks to DonorsChoose support, this coffee machine has helped transform our counseling office into a true wellness hub—a place where students feel seen, welcomed, and valued.
