A note from our 4th Grade Classes
Our October Coat Drive
A message from our School Counselor
Hello West Broad Families,
It's been a great year thus far with a lot of talk about mindfulness. Mindfulness exercises give students the tools necessary to be in control of their emotions and to be fully present so they can learn and focus. In addition to mindfulness, we have focused on specific topics for the month. In September, we talked about what a school counselor does and how I can help your student be the best they can be. For October we learned all about bullying and what to do if you see it happening and how we can prevent it from continuing, "See something, say something". November is dedicated to learning about Colleges, Careers & Services. I will be visiting your child's classroom to expose students to the many careers and opportunities that exist in our world today.
