FROM THE COUNSELOR, MR. K...
For the week of January 23 - 26, SWE will continue promoting the Great 8 skill focusing on relationships. In addition, we will be promoting respect for individual differences by celebrating "Buddies not Bullies" Week created by our No Place for Hate group. Information for the week is attached below.
The No Place for Hate initiative through the Anti-Defamation League, helps create and sustain inclusive environments where all students feel valued and have the opportunity for success by promoting respect for individual differences. Our No Place for Hate student group at SWE is open to any student. If your child is a leader and would like to join the group to work to create an environment of tolerance and respect, please contact Mr. Kinniebrew at shannon.kinniebrew@humbleisd.net. The next January meetings will be the 1/30 at 3:25. A permission slip is needed to attend.
For February, we will have a 28 day kindness challenge. Information will be shared soon.
