Connecting Technology in the Counseling Office
Funded Dec 3, 2024We would like to thank you all for your generosity and donating computers to our guidance office. It has already been a tremendous help in getting our important work done! Our counseling students have been utilizing them and know that when they are in need of a working laptop they can come by the guidance office to use it. This may seem like something small but having one less obstacle throughout the school day can truly turn some of our students day around! We are so very thankful to receive this donation and it will continue to support so many of our students now and for years to come!”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 13 other donors.Cozy Corner Counseling Project
Funded Aug 17, 2015I would like to thank all of you who have donated to the project. It is truly appreciated and the students are loving it. The materials have made such a difference in the way students feel when they come to counseling. I constantly have students coming in because they want to use the Zen garden to "relax". I receive tons of compliments from students on how the counseling office has improved. They like to come visit the office because they say "it feels cozy". It really has made such a world of a difference and I am forever thankful and grateful you chose my project and saw my vision of how I wanted to create this type of atmosphere for my students. Before I received your donation my office was a basic office with a table, some chairs, and my desk. The materials have brought life into the office and I can see that through students reactions. I am so glad we were able to create this for them. Even staff members have paid compliments to the improvement.
Some materials have not been put to use because unfortunately my office is small and the three bean bag chair and pillows do not fit. I will be getting a larger office in the upcoming school year and cannot wait to set out the bean bags and pillows. Unfortunately, when I ordered them I did not realize exactly how large they were. I currently use one in the outside office and kids love sitting on it while they are waiting outside my office. So I know it will be a hit when I move into a larger office.
My students also enjoy the Choices magazines, they love the articles and enjoy discussing the different topics. The articles are great and relevant to teens, it is really a great tool for topic and conversation starters. Unfortunately, I do not have permission to photograph the students using the materials so I am only able to send pictures of the office. Thank you again for your donations my students and I greatly appreciate what you were able to do for us.”
