Counselor's Corner
Every change in our lives is hard, whether it’s professionally or personally. That change brings an imbalance to our daily routine and many times creates anxiety, frustration and even fear. It is hard to keep calm and see people or difficult situations in a positive way when we are upset, anxious, or afraid. Being February the month we celebrate love, I encourage you to decide to love and view those difficult situations or people through the “lenses of love”. When we choose to offer unconditional love and see the person or situation with a different perspective, we highlight the beauty, the positive, and our willingness changes. As a result, our behavior and reaction changes towards the situation. Everything is beautiful when we see things with love, not because things, circumstances or people change, but because our power of perception has changed. When we see others with love, we manage our emotions better, we are willing to be kind and of service. I wish you a month filled with love and kind acts!

All students have now received a SMART tag (bus tag). If a student misplaces or breaks their SMART tag (bus tag), a $5.00 fee must be paid through the School Cash Online link HERE in order to have another SMART tag printed for the student.
