Career Day:
Please reach out if you are still interested in volunteering for our virtual career day! If you have sent in a volunteer form already, I will be in touch soon!
Classroom Lessons
I got to visit every classroom Preschool through 2nd in February to share with students many coping skills for when we feel BIG feelings. We read a story, practiced skills and played BINGO with the strategies! I loved getting to hear from every student which strategy they were going to use in the future. Ask your student which were their favorite strategies practiced!
Please reach out to me with any questions or additional support needs at ashley.phelps@myeagles.org or at 517-769-8557.
