My Project

Help support me and the students with resources to support their mental and physical needs to be their best at school. SEL is beneficial to both children and adults, increasing self-awareness, academic achievement, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom. From an academic standpoint, students who participated in SEL programs saw an 11 percentile increase in their overall grades and better attendance. With your donations, our school counseling program will be better able to support the social emotional needs of more of our students, and in turn, help build more resilient and regulated students!
