💙 CARE & COMFORT DRIVE 💙

Our counselors show up for our students every single day — offering encouragement, support, and a safe place when it’s needed most. Now, we’re asking our community to help us show up for them.

The Gator Wellness Center is collecting tissues and Kleenex to help keep our counselors’ offices stocked and ready to support students throughout the year.

It may seem like a small item, but it makes a big difference in moments when students need comfort the most. 🤍
