My Project

All items will be used directly to make students feel loved and welcome. As a counselor creating the right space allows students to open up and feel comfortable. Often a good chair, game and a friendly voice can make all the difference, especially when assisting special needs or young kiddos. I’m sure we all wished we had a friendly space and face at schools. My space will be used to help kids in grades k-8 and be the place they want to go to at school. Thanks for making a difference!
