#THINKKINDNESS CHALLENGE!
The challenge may be over, but being kind should never end. We will continue to throw kindness around like confetti here at Jensen and do our best to use that superpower every day!
Way to go Jensen superheroes!
APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH!
Dear Families,
Your child's safety is important in and out of school. That's why I'm sharing this resource from Committee for Children, the organization that makes the Second Step social-emotional learning program which is what we use here for Guidance at Jensen.
Research shows that talking to your kids about abuse, touching, and private body parts can help keep them safe. This is a scary subject, but talking about it shouldn't be. HotChocolateTalk.org is a free, research-based resource that provides the facts, tips, and talking points that can help you start this critical safety conversation.
April is Child Abuse prevention month
I have taken the liberty of putting the majority of the information on my website at this link:
