FCE Counselor Newsletter

Counselors are essential educators and mental health professionals in the school system. We are growing graduates by teaching educational, career, personal, and social development at all ages!

In Humble ISD, we believe in a personalized approach to counseling. Each elementary student will receive one individual meeting each year with their counselor. In these meetings, students will explore their goals and aspirations, and discuss the options for their personal path in Humble ISD. Additionally, counselors will be working with students and teachers in the classroom to provide additional avenues for student success. This partnership gives Humble ISD students a unique approach to meeting their personal goals, career pathways, and setting them up for success.

This quarter students will sign the No Place for Hate Resolution of Respect with their teacher and classmates. Also, we are having an Alley Theatre performance on campus OSKAR's Big Bully Battle.

The play is about a ten year old Oskar who loves his new shoes! They belong in a museum of GREATNESS or at least they did until Frank stepped on them. If apologies had happened right then and there, this playground mishap would not have escalated into a wild adventure illustrating the roles of a Victim, Bully, Bystander, and Upstander. This play was developed by award-winning theatre artists to help students understand the multiple perspectives involved in an escalating incident of bullying.

Oskar's Big Bully Battle Resource Guide

The Red Ribbon became a symbol for drug prevention in 1985, in response to the murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Informed Families started the first county-wide Red Ribbon campaign in 1986. In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Week® celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families.
