Mrs. Diane McClain Wins $500 CAPNCM Grant For PC Elementary

Congratulations to Mrs. Diane McClain! Mrs. McClain, Elementary School Guidance Counselor applied for a grant and won $500! The grant is from Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri.

 

The $500 will be used to create a comfortable place to provide individual and small group counseling with a therapeutic and calm setting. We have many students that have personal struggles from time to time and some students on a daily basis.

 

The grant money will help to facilitate a calm-down area for students to re-set and relax. The calm-down setting will include a weighted therapeutic blanket, stress-relief stations such as Play-Doh, kinetic sand, stress balls, and relaxed seating. Often times children want a safe spot to retreat to when worries and stress become overwhelming.

 

Thank you, Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri! We appreciate your generosity in helping our students be set up for success!
