As the school counselor, I strive to provide a comfortable, safe environment for our scholars. Some of our scholars come to school weighted down with the cares of their life. They may find it hard to concentrate during class, or to even put their best foot forward. They come to the counselor to talk about their day, things effecting them, or about anything they deem important to them. In an effort to enhance this experience, comfortable seating is requested to help the students relax and feel comfortable while discussing issues that may make them uncomfortable. I would like to provide comfortable beanbag seating for our scholars to go along with the comfortable environment.
