  • Creating Calm: Tools to Help My Students Thrive

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    I am deeply grateful for the generous support provided through DonorsChoose, which has allowed me to bring essential counseling resources into my guidance office. These tools have already had a tremendous impact on my students. With items such as emotional regulation cards, stress relief tools, snacks, and group activity kits, I have been able to enhance my counseling sessions and create a more engaging, supportive environment. These resources have helped my students build confidence, learn effective coping mechanisms, and foster stronger relationships with their peers.

    When the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. They were immediately drawn to the hands-on tools and eager to explore how they could be used during our sessions. The calming items, in particular, have been a huge hit, with many students reporting that they feel more in control of their emotions and less anxious. Moving forward, I plan to incorporate these resources into regular group activities and individual sessions, allowing students to continue developing their social-emotional skills in ways that are both fun and impactful. With your support, I believe my students are on the path to becoming more resilient and better equipped to handle the challenges ahead. Thank you for helping me make this possible.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cali

  • Mindful Minds

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for all of your generous donations! Right now with your help, the kids walk into my office (which always has calm music playing from the new technology) and grab a snack to get them through the day.

    It is such a wonderful feeling getting to see the kids play with their new fidget toys and learn new skills on the computer. We have been learning new breathing techniques and even how to use music to ground our emotions!

    None of this would be possible without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Mindful Minds at Jr High!

    Funded Aug 15, 2021

    Thank you so much for you generous donations. With your help, I was able to create a "Zen Zone" where the students can come and talk and relax. The students were thrilled to play with the art supplies and the fidgit toys. The students also use these fidget toys when their anxiety is getting the best of them or they are having a bad day, this helps them relax and open up more. This year has been rough on everyone but I just want to thank you again for making their days a little more relaxed and brighter!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cali

These materials will enhance our school counseling program. Our Counseling Department is aligned to the American School Counseling Association Model (ASCA). This means as a counselor here at Shell Bank I have several different proactive modes of serving students and their families. The games will be used during weekly counseling groups and sessions with students who struggle with managing emotions and peer relationships. In addition, these items will be used during lunch or other free time as an opportunity for students to connect outside of the classroom through organized play.
