NEWS FROM OUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR MRS. CALDWELL
Showing love, kindness, and appreciation has many benefits in our lives. It builds strong, healthy relationships. It brings feelings of joy and happiness. It helps develop a prosocial attitude – meaning we want to make the world better for those around us. With that, we become less selfish and self-centered. Each day, try sharing together how each member of your family has shown love, kindness, or appreciation to someone else.

A Little Letter from the Librarian
You’re never too old for an amazing picture book. When was the last time you read Where the Wild Things Are, There’s a Nightmare in My Closet, The Gruffalo, Tops and Bottoms or Bats at the Beach? Grab a good picture book and start reading. Studies show that reading aloud can reduce stress! It can also improve chances for scholastic success and helps to develop communication skills. It’s time to make a memory with a family member or friend and a good book.
