Kay Granger Elementary
Counselor's Corner
Welcome!
Thanks for visiting Granger's Counseling Corner! We have had a lot of fun events this month and are looking forward to more in the month of November! Our students have had many opportunities to show their character at Granger and be involved in different activities to promote character education. This month was also National Bullying Prevention Month. We focused on the meaning of bullying and how we can STOP bullying at Granger through announcements, guidance lessons, and activities. Thanks for checking out the newsletter this month!
Character Counts Week!
During the month of October we celebrated CHARACTER COUNTS WEEK! Character Counts Week if a time to focus on character traits at Granger each day. Throughout the week we dressed up in colors to match the character trait we were focusing on. As teachers or students noticed someone showing character, they put together paper chain links with character traits written on them. As the week progressed, we connected all of our links to show that Granger is LINKED TOGETHER BY CHARACTER! Check out this YouTube video with highlights from the week!

RED RIBBON WEEK!
Red Ribbon Week is a week where we remind students the importance of saying NO to bullying and drugs! Granger celebrated Red Ribbon Week by dressing up each day to focus on why this is important. We also all signed a banner to take the PLEDGE against BULLYING! Check out some pictures below from our dress up days!

National Bullying Prevention Month
This month students learned how to STAND UP, SPEAK OUT, and SAY NO to bullying! We discussed ways to report bullying, what to do if they see someone being bullied, and how to stop bullying at Granger and in our community! We read a book called Spookley the Square Pumpkin to talk about our differences and how everyone is unique and special. Talk with your students about what their Spookley looks like and how they are going to be a BUDDY and not a BULLY to others! Check out this website for some additional resources! http://www.spookley.com/
