Mrs. K's Counseling Corner
Week of October 17, 2022
“When you connect to the heart of a child, everything is possible.”
Dr. Karyn Purvis
If you haven’t already, please take a minute or two to complete this Back to School form for Mrs. K. The information you provide is invaluable to me.
October is “National Bullying Prevention” month so when our 2nd and 3rd graders visited the Peace class, they learned about the ingredients that make friendships. Check out the book we read, Enemy Pie! Students then created their own friendship “pie!”
For fun family activities around the area, click on this week’s edition of Kids Out and About. You can also sign up for their weekly newsletter.
Click on Burleson News for tons of family-friendly activities in our area. There are lots of fall family festivals coming up and a Boo Bash at 5:30 on October 22 at Chisenhall Sports Complex located at 550 W. Hidden Creek. If you attend any of these events, please share your pictures on Brock’s Twitter or Facebook pages.
If you want additional information on the Brock counseling program, click here. I am always here to serve you and your child!
Several churches in our area have offered to support families who might be in need at Thanksgiving/Christmas. For more information, please contact me.
