Counselor's Corner
Finding the right balance when your child is misbehaving can be a difficult task to balance. A potential go-to for parents to say maybe, "Go To Your Room." This action may make your child feel ashamed, alone, and angry. Instead, try these options.

The 2023 Finley's Smile 5K & Smile Mile is coming! Join us on Sunday, April 23rd to support our organization, Finley's Smile. Register at: https://racepenguin.com/events/finleysmile5k/
Finley's Smile is a nonprofit that was created by Kristin and Tyler Hollinger after their daughter, Finley Grace passed away in 2016. The Finley's Smile 5K & Smile Mile is the primary fundraiser for the organization. The goal of Finley's Smile is to provide fun, authentic and meaningful experiences for children, while encouraging families to spend time together. Some of the projects funded by Finley's Smile include the Games in Schools program at Slate Hill Elementary (as well as other Worthington Schools). This program provides students with the opportunity to check out board games from the school library to enjoy with their families. Finley's Smile has also provided over $40,000 through our Love, Play, Smile grant. This grant goes to support other nonprofit organizations who share their vision to provide children and their families/caregivers with fun, background building experiences! For more information about Finley's Smile visit their Facebook Group Finley's Smile or website, http://www.finleyssmile.org/
