Popcorn Theme for National School Counseling Week 🍿📣

Roll out the red carpet for National School Counseling Week with some popcorn and advocacy! 🍿📣 


For Open House and outside of the School Counseling Office at my school I have a Popcorn theme. Last year, I decided to carry over the popcorn theme into National School Counseling Week. This post contains everything you need to host a 🍿 Popcorn Themed National School Counseling Week.


These are some pictures of the displays I made to share information (and treats!) with staff.


More treats and information. 🍿📣


This idea was inspired by Dr. Sarah Kirk. She shared an image with all the different roles and responsibilities that she was involved in as a school counselor. I decided to create a popcorn version to match with my theme. Click here or on the image below for an editable Canva template of this image.



I created these cards to attach to bags of popcorn. 



I made this short "Pop Quiz" as a way to engage teachers and share some information about School Counseling. I made this image with a QR code that teachers can scan to take the "Pop Quiz."


I used Google Forms to create the "Pop Quiz."  


I create this sign to share how school counselors support students.


On the table I share copies of this "Who Are School Counselors?" Infographic from ASCA. It is a great way to showcase our role and give more information about how we serve students.

And last, but not least, one of my favorite additions to the table: X G-Word Sign. This is a great way to share our title of SCHOOL COUNSELOR vs. the g-word. 😉


Now for the treats! I am a big fan of Lesser Evil Popcorn (not sponsored, but I wish!) and they have some really tasty Valentine-themed popcorn that is white chocolate raspberry. I also love how the colors matched my theme! 🤩🍿





This year I am adding Valentine Themed Pirate Booty to the treat mix.


Did you know that ASCA has a ton of promotional materials for #NSCW24?

Happy Advocating! 🥳

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstorming a
