What has the counseling department been up to?
Guidance
The counseling department has been very busy. We taught 74 guidance lessons in the first nine weeks.Food 4 Kids
Food 4 Kids is being delivered to students every Friday. Currently, we are serving 39 students in this program. If you feel like you have students that could benefit from this program, please fill out one of the green forms and return it to the counselors.
Professional Development
On October 11th, we attended a training given by the Excel Center on running effective groups with students. We are very excited to use our newly acquired skills in group counseling.
Clubs
Mrs. Echevarria is facilitating the Culinary Adventures and Mrs. Renegar is facilitating the Crafting Connections Club.
