Funded Aug 24, 2024On behalf of Morton Freshman Center and all of the kiddos we serve, we want to extend a very warm thank you to all who donated! Both the kids as well as the staff were very excited about the decorations added to the classroom. They completely transformed the classroom from a very dull and bland white space to a warm and colorful area where students feel comfortable in participating and sharing their experiences. Because we started off with nothing, everything that was donated has been used to its full potential and has impacted our students.
Among the items donated, the favorites have been the carpet, the floor cushions, the fluorescent light covers, and the inflatable bean bag chairs. The furniture has assisted in creating a cozy corner in the classroom which facilitators have used for discussion within our social-emotional groups. The group room has been used thus far for Girls Group, Young Men's Group, AP Stress Management, Anxiety Group, Social Skills Group, and Newcomer's Group.
From the counselors, social workers, and school psychologist we are so so thankful to all of those who have seen value in the work that we do and have kindly chosen to donate to our students and help get our first ever "group room" up and running!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Castro
