From the Counseling Office...

Anxiety is on the rise among both youth and adults with a full 32% of teens struggling with some level of anxiety. Recently, our counseling staff had the opportunity to hear Lynn Lyons, therapist and anxiety expert, speak. She has so many practical tips for supporting your child through anxiety, and even addressing some of your own. Her book Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents: 7 Ways to Stop the Worry Cycle and Raise Courageous and Independent Children, has it all!

From the Counseling Office Cont'd...

Are you a GRANDPARENT, AUNT, UNCLE, or OTHER FAMILY MEMBER caring for a child that is not your own?

Kinship Connections of Wyoming has Peer to Peer Support Groups designed to support kinship caregivers by providing ongoing conversations between caregivers who may be experiencing similar situations. The goal of the group is to help establish supportive connections among caregivers who understand what one another is experiencing and to provide its members with relevant and up-to-date information and resources.

The Fremont County Support Group for Caregivers is currently being offered virtually on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 12:00 PM. Register here.

Second Semester PBIS

Please encourage your students to work towards our PBIS activities this semester. We're planning some things for the kids to do...a dance and an 8th grade swim trip to name a few! Students need 90% attendance, passing grades at the time of the event, and good behavior to qualify.

Camps

There are several camps, scholarships, and other summer opportunities for middle schoolers! Check your emails for more information. Links are available on our school website under Spartan Clubs. Apply soon as many of the application deadlines are this month.
