#BeReflective #BeAppreciative
We begin our celebration of Kindness Month by celebrating our "Kind Counselor", Ms. Catanach. Our school counselor does so much for our students, staff, and community, we want to show our appreciation in a great way. You can help us by sending her a message of appreciation by email or voice mail. Help your child create a card to share with Ms. Catanach. Prepare a poster and participate in a drive by celebration on Thursday, February 4. Which ever way works best for you and your family, please join us in showing love for one who consistently provides guidance and support for us all academically, socially, emotionally, and mentally.
Stay engaged throughout the month to see how we will celebrate by Black History Month and Kindness Month as we build children, character, and community everyday.
