Journal Writing with Mrs. Kaiser
Did you know that writing in a journal can decrease your stress, improve your health and memory, strengthen your writing skills, and can motivate you to reach your goals? And...It's a lot of fun too.
Design and create a reflective and personalized gratitude journal that's just right for you.
Any kind of notebook will do, as long as you've got lots of room to write, draw or doddle.

Book Group with Mrs. Nemecek
Hey Goodman! It's me, your new counselor Mrs. Nemecek. I wanted to invite everyone interested to join me in reading a cool new book. It's fantasy, it has witches, it is set in Africa. It's not like other books you've read! Let's have some fun on Wednesdays!
Book Summary for Akata Witch
Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born in New York City. She looks West African, but is so sensitive to the sun (due to her albinism) that she can’t play soccer during the day. She doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere. Then she learns why.
Her classmate Orlu and his friend Chichi reveal that they have magical abilities- and so does she. Sunny is a “free agents,” overflowing with latent power. And she has a lot of catching up to do.
Orlu and Chichi have been working with their teacher for years. Sunny needs a crash course in magical history, spells, juju, shape-shifting and dimensional travel. Her new world is a secret from her family, but it’s well worth all of the silence, exhaustion and sneaking around.
Still, there is a dark side. After she’s found her footing, Sunny, Orlu, Chichi, and their American friend Sasha are asked by the magical authorities to help track down a criminal. Not just a run-of-the-mill bad guy. A real-life hardcore serial killer-with abilities far stronger than theirs.
