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

Middle schoolers are at a pivotal age where they’re curious, energetic, and beginning to discover their identities. As a School Counselor, I appreciate their openness to growth and their unique perspectives. School Counseling games encourages students to express themselves and engage in their personal development. Comfortable furniture and accessible hygiene products add to this supportive atmosphere, ensuring students feel respected and cared for during their visits. This holistic approach promotes both emotional well-being and a sense of belonging, vital for their growth.

Therapeutic office games are crucial tools that help build trust and facilitate open communication, allowing students to express themselves in a relaxed and safe environment.

Your generous contributions would significantly enhance the support and care we provide to our students. Comfortable office furniture creates a welcoming space where students feel secure and at ease, fostering meaningful interactions. Providing essential hygiene products like maxi pads ensures that students can focus on their education and well-being without the distraction of unmet basic needs. Additionally, thoughtful counseling decor plays a key role in creating a calming atmosphere, helping students feel valued and supported.

My Middle schoolers are special because they are unique. Seeing them develop their sense of self and learning to navigate the complexities of social relationships is incredible. They are curious, eager to learn, and exhibit genuine enthusiasm for new experiences. This period of rapid growth and change allows them to explore their interests and talents, making it a perfect time for fostering their creativity and critical thinking skills.

Their resilience, adaptability, and diverse perspectives make them a joy to work with and a source of inspiration as they shape their future selves.
