Funded Aug 14, 2024I 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
