My Students

PS 120 is a vibrant and diverse population of over 1,100 elementary school students. A majority of our students come from low income, immigrant families who work hard to provide the very best for their families. A majority of our students' families come from Asian countries including China and Korea, as well as India and Pakistan.

One of the challenges many of our students face is that many are “satellite babies,” meaning these children typically live away from their parents in another country (typically China) for months and/or years so that they parents can focus on building a stable home for them here in the US.

Eventually, these children are brought to the US to live with their parents. The emotional impact and needs of both parents and children in these cases is enormous.

Despite the challenges many of our students face, a majority of them are resilient and engaged in our school community. Many participate in activities like the gardening club, chess club, student council, basketball and cheerleading team, green team, tech squad, Dragon Fire Radio, Dragon Press, student ambassadors, lunch leaders, and upper grade/lower grade monitors.

My Project

As I enter into my second year of school counseling, I have identified a great number of students facing various challenges such as mental health trauma associated with such issues like family separation/divorce, abuse, anxiety, and depression. Although I have managed to create a small library of about 20 books, I am in desperate need of more books that cover a wider range of topics.

Julia Cook's books are an amazing collection of resources for children focused on such topics as health, mental health, pro-social behavior, and life skills.

Her books are colorful, engaging, and well liked by students. These books highlight the challenges many children face and solutions in ways that children can connect to.
