My Students

My students are capable, strong, resilient, motivated and diverse. My students meet daily life challenges and adversities that have the potential to derail and disrupt their learning and growth. But they have met these challenges with grit, determination and passion.

My students inspire others through their ability to try new things, engage in self-reflection and overcome obstacles to become stronger and healthier.

Despite a lack of privilege and opportunity, as compared with higher income schools and communities, my students rise to the high expectations we place on them and fight for a chance to be leaders, innovators and strong, confident role models in their communities.

My students have faced challenges such as poverty, neglect, abuse, homelessness and family separation. However, in the face of these challenges, my students still try their best to participate in school each day, complete work to their full potential and form relationships with peers and adults.

My Project

This year, students in my program will be participating in a hybrid learning model for school. As their school counselor, my primary goal this year is to ensure each student is safe and that regular contact is made. We will focus on engagement, connection and hands-on projects that can be done both safely in my office or at home when necessary.

The items in this project will allow students to make and print high-quality, fun and personal art projects.

When students are learning from home, I will use these items to send engaging and interesting activities that promote connection, self-exploration and self-esteem building.

Many of my students do not have access to such materials and tools in their homes and this project will allow them to explore how art can promote self-esteem, confidence and healthy emotional expression.
