My Project

This project is for the entire Counseling Office! These items, waiting chairs, decor, and a bookcase will help re-create our counseling center into an area for wellness. Students need a calming, safe place to be when stress, anxiety, or other factors prevent them from learning.

Our goal is to have a welcoming space that helps students to re-center themselves so that they can return to class ready to learn, participate, and grow.

Our current counseling center is blank, stark, and not a place that is comforting. Our students deserve a nice place to visit their counselors. These items will help us to create the counseling center of our dreams so that all students have a place to go when they need a break.
