Counseling Corner
Eighth grade students in Washington County have many options for high school programming. Different programs can be found on the Washington County Public Schools website. The High School Program of Studies is a great place to start and can be found at http://wcpsmd.com/academics/curriculum. Please encourage your 8th grader to stop by the Counseling Center if they have questions.
During Warrior Wednesday 8th grade students interested in applying to Barbara Ingram School for the Arts attended a presentation with BIFSA staff and students. During the presentation students received information about the programs available, details on the schedule of courses, and how to apply. Barbara Ingram School for the Arts (BIFSA) is currently accepting applications for the 2018-2019 School Year. The application is due on December 8, 2017 to BIFSA.
You can find the application at http://wcpsmd.com/schools/high-schools/barbara-ingram-school-arts or have your student stop by the Counseling Center for a copy.
SSL reminder: 8th grade students who have community activities that are with Non-Profit Organizations should come to the Counseling Center for pre-approval of the activity. Additionally, after a student has completed a pre-approved activity, they should complete the questions on the back of the yellow SSL card and return it to the Counseling Center as soon as possible.

BMS Health Tips for October - Brain Health
1. Meditation allows the brain to process information quicker, improve concentration and memory, reduces stress, and improves the ability to learn new information. (https://www.powerofpositivity.com/brain-health/)
2. A good thing to do is give your brain one challenge a day. Try reading a difficult topic or solving a perplexing crossword. (https://www.powerofpositivity.com/brain-health/)
