November Family Character Dare
What is a CharacterDare?
CharacterDares are prompts and reflective conversations organized around specific character challenges (i.e., dares) that provide students, parents and staff with ideas, opportunities, and accountability to put character in action. Students will get character Dares once a week. Families will also get character dares to try out!

Counselor Corner
Hello and welcome back to the Counselor's Corner! My name is Kristen Lombardo and I am your child’s school counselor. November continues to be filled with lots of activities here at the Samuel Mickle School. In a few short weeks we will be honoring our Veterans. Lessons and activities were developed and will take place to help the students recognize the things they should be grateful for and they can show gratitude. Before we know it, parent/teacher conferences will be held and Thanksgiving will be here.
This month we are continuing with classroom lessons on respecting each other and ourselves. We will discuss conflict resolution skills and problem solving skills. If you are interested in checking out any of my lessons they are posted in my google classroom. All students have access to my google classroom.
I am available if you have any questions or concerns. It is important that we all work together. I can be reached by email at lombardok@eastgreenwich.k12.nj.us or by phone at (856)423-0412 ext. 1051. I look forward to working with you and your child.
KIndly,
Kristen Lombardo
