Coffee with the Counselor
All are welcome to join the first "Coffee with the Counselor". Mrs. Hentges, our elementary school Counselor, would like to connect with parents/guardians in order to help give information, resources, and support.
"Coffee with the Counselor" is a series of presentations where parents/guardians can get information on specific subjects and then participate in a question and answer session.
Each Coffee with the Counselor will provide new information and resources. These will be offered once a quarter.
For the first Coffee with the Counselor, we will be teaming up with Parents as Teachers. Please see the information below for details:
Thursday, October 11th from 6:00-7:15pm in the Elementary Cafeteria
"Making the shift form trying to control, to connecting"
