  • Social Emotional Learning

    Funded Jan 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has made a huge difference. I was able to purchase curriculum that can be used over and over again therefore benefiting many students.

    I was able to purchase different resources supporting student anxiety, building relationships, grief, goal setting and substance abuse! These resources have helped give students skills and supports to be able to be in class and learning and also tools that they will take with them for the rest of their lives.

    One of the resources in particular is the Social Emotional Handbook for students. This is a journal that I have been able to print for students that goes over many different Social Emotional topics and how to cope.

    Thank you again so much”

  • Goodbye Stress! Hello Helpers!

    Funded Mar 2, 2021

    We all know that this last year and a half has been hard and our students are feeling the stress just as much as us adults are. Distance learning was a difficult transition for everyone and School Counsling was no exception. Thank you for helping to support our students by providing tools that they could use virtually as well as when they returned to campus. We were able to provide every student with their own calm down kit upon returning to campus which helped them all out greatly. Thank you for your support!”

  • Building Resilient Students

    Funded Apr 28, 2021

    Thank you so much for your support of our students. Since the pandemic started many of our students have lost loved ones and are struggling with the transition back to a new "normal" all while missing their family members. Many things are triggering them and they are struggling more than I have ever seen. The tools that you have helped to donate are helping our students begin to navigate through this trough time. These tools are helping them to cope with the grief and loss that so many are experiencing. The Grief Bubble workbook has helped many of our students work through their grief, journals are helping our students have somewhere to get out their feelings and a space to draw, reflect on life and plan for the future. Thank you so much for helping the students in our community.”

  • Supporting Student Resilience

    Funded May 17, 2021

    Thank you so much for supporting our students through this difficult year. This project helped provide a space for students to feel supported and comfortable. Upon returning to school many students have struggled with anxiety about being around other people and in loud environments. You have helped provide a calming space for students to have the ability to recenter and return to learning.

    Thank you for also providing them with fidgets and journals to help them practice their coping skills on their own while in class.”

  • New Counselor Ready to Help!

    Funded May 20, 2019

    Thank you so much for all of your help. So far, with the donations received over 50 students have been impacted by having a safe and comfortable space to cool down and share their experiences and feelings, and this number is continuing to grow. The games and fidget toys have helped so many students in class and throughout their school day by giving them something to take with them to help de-escalate while in class to help them get through their school day. This has made a school wide impact, allowing students a calm and re-energizing space. Thank you again for your support.”

As a new counselor I need tools to help build rapport with students, create relationships and help build trust! I am requesting resources for our counseling room. Question cards and games are an excellent way to get to know your kiddos. Many of my students struggle with anxiety and need additional support in the classrooms, squishy's are helpful and non-disruptive to students and teachers. Calm down toys, kinetic sand and calm jars are a great way to help students that have impulse triggers to calm down and regulate. Motivational posters are great to have in classrooms and offices to help encourage students throughout the day. Journals are great for students to get out their emotions, to have a space to express themselves by writing, drawing or coloring. I love creating these relationships and encouraging these students that they can achieve great things, thank you so much for your support in helping it happen!
