Counseling Connection with Mrs. Walsh
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Our Practicum Student
I want to introduce Mallory Redmond, my practicum student, to you. She is working on her school counseling degree from Auburn University. She received her undergraduate in psychology from Troy University. She will be working 8 to 10 hours a week with our students this semester. We are excited to have her join us at Yarbrough.
Guidance Lessons
Our Guidance lessons in September will focus on introducing the 7 Habits of Happy Kids and Study Skills. We want children to find the leader within themselves and know their value and potential. Please take time to ask the students what they have learned about the 7 Habits.

"Leader in Me" Habit of the Month
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
Key Phrase: I have a plan!
What this habit looks like in action: I set goals for myself. I have a plan for how I will accomplish my goals. I think about what I want to be when I grow up and how I will get there.
