Last Chance for Kulshan Family Survey!
WE Club Community Outreach
Our Kulshan WE Club wants your help! Most of us are lucky enough to spend the holidays in a warm home with our families, but others in Bellingham aren't so lucky. In an effort to be courageous, kind, and committed, WE Club will be making care packages for the Lighthouse Mission. Starting Monday morning there will be a bin on the stage before school for you to drop off items such as toiletries, snacks, socks, hats and gloves. If you have questions about this WE Club project, please email Shanon Fischer, our club leader. Thank you!
Seeking a Teacher Appreciation Lead Volunteer
Do you think we have awesome teachers? Do you want to be involved at Kulshan, but are limited by time? We have the perfect opportunity for you! Kulshan PTSA needs a volunteer to help with Teacher Appreciation. This person would help PTSA do something special for teachers a few times throughout the year and help us coordinate snacks, etc. during Teacher Appreciation Week in the spring. This job doesn't require much time but has a big impact! Contact Cathy Beecham at cathy_beecham@yahoo.com if you are interested!
Strengthening Family Sign Ups!
Our counselors are opening up our annual Strengthening Families registration. This program is for families who are interested in increasing family strengths, enhancing child development and engaging together as a family. The program starts up in February meets once a week. Strengthening Families works to engage families in parent resilience, social connections, adolescent development, parent support, and social/emotional growth. The program costs $35, but there are scholarships available. If you are interested, please contact either Aaron Tiger or Jen Newbauer.
Cooking with Common Threads
Classes will enjoy monthly cooking lessons through March 12th. Starting in December and into mid-January, students will prepare and taste fresh applesauce with apples harvested from local farms. We will explore a variety of spices including cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and nutmeg. Students will bring the recipe home: Look for it! If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact: becky@commonthreadsfarm.org. For more information please visit www.commonthreadsfarm.org
Counseling News
Counselors are continuing to talk to 6th and 7th graders about the Mood Meter, and the Meta Moment in class over the next couple of weeks. Feel free to explore these ideas with them and help them generate useful strategies that they can use in class to focus, and get back into a learning mindset. As the holidays sneak up on us there are a couple of things we wanted to let people know about. First of all, the holidays can be a wonderful time of relaxation, food, family and outdoor activities, but it can also bring stress and questions about gifts and food. We wanted to let you know that there are options out there for families - just click on this link to view local resources. And as always, connect with one of us if you need additional support. Thank you, Aaron Tiger and Jen Newbauer
