My Students

I get to work with a variety of students K-6 in a low-income Title I school. They are all wonderful. As a school social worker, I see kids with all sorts of abilities and needs. Some have difficulty processing information, some feel overwhelmed by anxiety, some just need to take a little break. They are all sweet as can be and I love coming to work every day!

COVID has made a big impact on these kids who worry about the day to day events of school and sometimes have pandemic-sized struggles to feel safe and connected.

My Project

Many students have had their lives uprooted due to COVID-19. Some have missed school, others have had their school days altered, and students are feeling the pressure of school regression mixed with the anxiety of COVID.

This project will help ensure students have supports at our school when they don't feel safe.

It will make clean spaces for students with UV sanitizing, and allow sensory help like noise blocking headphones, weighted blankets and fidgets for sensory needs. Kids will be able to access these resources as they reset with the school social worker or in our school wellness room.

Students will also be able to feel a connection with others through writing cards to those who have impacted them. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration in funding this project!
