CARDINAL COUNSELING CONNECTION
November 2022
Thankful every day!
We have so many great things coming up in guidance this November! It's hard to believe that we only have two more months left of 2022. Last week we celebrated Red Ribbon week. We had a great Red Ribbon Pep Rally with officers from SAPD, Prue Rd subdivision joining us to tell us about keeping ourselves safe in different situations! In guidance classes, we also had great conversations about ways to stay safe and learned the differences between choices that are healthy and unhealthy.
Jenga!

November is Generation Tx Month
We believe that all NWC students belong on the path to education beyond high school. The future depends on their success. More education means more options—more choices, more power, more freedom.
NWC will be focusing on increasing college awareness and readiness for students to generate enthusiasm about higher education through reading, activities and guidance lessons. To get more information about Generation Texas, visit: http://gentx.org/get-inspired/. Generation Tx dress-up days will be November 14-18.
