School Counselor News
New Hope Elementary School March 2014
February in Review
Even with all the winter weather and schedule changes, we had an awesome College and Career Exploration Week with over fifty speakers, presentations and guidance classes. Students listened to programs on the morning news all week and saw presentations throughout their classrooms and campus. We are continuing our College and Career Readiness Program with all the fifth grade classes, offering multiple guidance lessons on future planning and study skills. We are taking all the fifth graders to AL Stanback next week and hope to culminate this unit with a college tour and parent night. Our Terrific Kids showed lots of teamwork in February as we worked together with the challenges of schedule changes due to weather. Thank you to all the staff, students, parents and community members who participated in career week this year. What a huge success!!!!
