👀 Counselor Happenings 👀

March Madness Coping Skills

Each week students were given the opportunity to vote on their favorite coping skills until we reached an ultimate winner. The winner of this year's March Madness coping skills was Listen to Music.

Advisory Council

This month we hosted our final advisory council meeting of the year. We would like to thank the members of our Raider Advisory Council for their contributions to our counseling program. Their contributions have been invaluable and we appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with each one of them.

Top 10 Breakfast

March 27 we honored our Taft top 10 with a breakfast where families could come support their student.

Junior Guidance

March 17-21, counselors met with Juniors through their English classes to offer a classroom guidance lesson. The lesson focused on positive self talk and they way we see ourselves.

Sophomore Guidance

March 24-28, counselors met with Sophomores through their World History classes to offer a classroom guidance lesson. The lesson focused on resiliency and how to stay motivated as we approach the end of the school year.

🙂 Coping Skill of the Month 🙂

Healthy Boundaries

Setting healthy boundaries can save you stress and give you a sense of control over how you live and spend your time. The best way to start setting boundaries is to offer direct, open, and honest feedback about your limits.
