School Psychologist Sunshine Project

Funded Dec 8, 2022

Thank you so much for the donation to the "School Psychologist Sunshine Project!"

I have been using the board games and activities during one on one sessions and small group engagement in my office. The kindergarten and first grade students seem to really enjoy the game "Don't wake Daddy." We play the game in small groups and they laugh when "daddy" is woken up. The older students, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have enjoyed the "Guess Who" game and the "Bop It!" and have challenged me several times to play. I have been enjoying wearing my School Psychologist T-shirts to show how proud I am and passionate about my field. I have received compliments on how cute the print is. I enjoyed sharing the "Stress Relief and Self-care" cards with the Speech and Language Pathologist and the Mental Health Clinician and I have applied some of the suggestions to my life.

When students walk into my office they seem eager and excited to play the games and activities and they ask for them. I like that now I have a variety of new and up to date games. Some students have walked in shy, sad, or anxious and after I interact with them using the materials they seem a lot more happy and ready to return to their classroom to learn.

I truly thank you so very much for the contribution that you gave to me, for helping me continue to be passionate about my field in School Psychology, and helping improve my engagement with my students!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Martinez
