Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a counselor for high school students at a special education school. I work with students who are classified with autism, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, speech/language impairments, etc. My students are exceptional, brave, and unique! Please help my students attain journals. Writing about their daily events will benefit their emotional health.

Writing your emotions down gives more clarity about your feelings, thoughts, struggles, fears, and goals.

The requested journals will provide affirmations and prompts that will assist our students in dealing with their daily stress.

Donating to this project will help improve our students' Mental Health!
