My Project

In a school with students from Kindergarten to 8th grade positive conversations is a must. So often students don't really express when they are having a bad day and just need a word of encouragement even if its just to encourage themselves. In the past I have seen this gesture do wonders. With the pressure of social media, peers, and the so called norm to just go on with your your day. Life as a young student can be rough.

This project of posting positive affirmations throughout the school can really help students get through the day on a positive note.

As a School Counselor my goal is have my students feeling great about themselves as well as getting them to read more.
