An organized Planner is an organized Mind

Funded Nov 22, 2019

I'm the A-G Diploma Program Counselor at my middle school. I help students get on track to culminate, so that they can be prepared for high school, graduation, college, and life beyond. The planners that you all helped procure for my students will help them stay organized, do their assignments on time, and know when important events are coming up. I advised the students to use their planners for everything they want to remember, and to use them until the end of the school year to help them with their academics.

When I first got my project funded, I needed to choose 50 students to reward them to. Since I had already been able to give the 8th graders planners, I decided to give these 50 planners to the highest performing 6th and 7th graders in the school. When I first pulled them out of class to give them the good news, their faces lit up. They were surprised to be awarded for being the highest performing students in their grade level with a planner that was going to help them stay on track. I was overjoyed to be able to give my students resources to help them with their education. Thank you donors! I appreciate you.”
