Counselor Has a Bench Filled With Snacks
Funded Aug 26, 2019
Thank you, for giving my students so much joy and a place to sit in my office. Students helped me build the bench and even helped unpack the boxes of snacks. The bench filled with snacks became the go to place during lunch for many students. It was a place to break bread and laugh, dream and plan. Many deep conversations about our tomorrow and the aspirations of our students happen in that bench. It's beautiful to see youth advising youth and reminding them about their purpose. I cannot wait to get back into my office to create that space for students again.”
With gratitude,
Ms. De Haro

The bench I selected would serve as more sitting space for students in my office. Currently, there are only two chairs and that is simply not enough for when a group of student wants to consult with me. The bench would provide additional seating but also storage for all of the stress relief toys I hope to get. Sometimes students find comfort in fidgeting without even knowing it and these toys would provide that for them. Having them around in my office can support them through their anxiety, mental break down or simply help them learn to cope with stressors. I remember last school year a young man was crying in my office and started fidgeting with a set of tiny minions I have sitting on my desk. It helped him cry and share his fears. Unfortunately, our school sees many students who do not have access to food. I have found myself buying granola bars to ensure students have something in their stomach because hunger can prevent student focus. Students know that the counseling office will have fruit or a granola bars and so many students come work on scholarships, college applications, study for SAT/ACT prep or do homework. We love being able to provide them with a snack while they are working so hard to get to their college or career move.
