Our town's largest employer, a paper mill, was unexpectedly closed last December. Most of our students' families were effected by this and our rural district lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost tax revenues. Unfortunately, our elementary guidance counselor's job was cut.
I'm a school social worker but I also have a guidance certificate and clinical counseling license. I begged my principal to let me do individual and group counseling and social skills groups and she agreed but can't provide any funds for materials.
I'm very excited about being able to provide this very important service to our kindergarten students. I have a table but no chairs so I'm asking for five student chairs for lunchtime social skills groups. I'm also asking for a sand table which I've found to be very effective in eliciting conversations with young children.
Thank you very much for considering my request!
