Mental Health

Funded Oct 30, 2024

Thank you so much for your incredible donation to our high school counseling room! The students and I are using the new resources in a variety of ways. We utilize the games and sensory items, such as kinetic sand, during group counseling sessions. These items are great for social emotional learning (SEL) and mental health. A lot of our students have diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the sensory items help them stay focused during group discussions and activities.

Another way the donations helped our students is through the snacks that were purchased. Several of our students are low-income and some have told me they do not have snacks at home. When the students saw the snacks, they were very excited. When they enter the counseling room, the students are eager to go to the "snack closet." Thank you again for your generosity, kindness and thoughtfulness.”
