Because of your kindness, our school snack closet is now restocked and ready to help students who may not always have access to enough food. As a school counselor, I see firsthand how difficult it can be for students to focus, regulate their emotions, and participate in learning when they are hungry. Having snacks readily available in my office allows me to meet an immediate need and help students return to their classrooms feeling cared for, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of having these resources is knowing that students have a safe place to come when they need a little extra support. Sometimes, something as simple as offering a snack can completely turn a student's day around! The additional supplies have also helped me create and maintain counseling resources, including social-emotional learning activities, coping strategies, and visuals that students can use to build important skills.\r\n\r\nMy goal is to make sure every student knows they have someone at school who cares about them and is there to help.
