Mrs. Casdorph's Counselor News
January 2026
It’s not always hard to get a participation ribbon, but accomplishing something meaningful is almost always difficult. And difficult things take a big dose of this month’s Big Idea that helps us start the new year right — commitment.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns! I'm happy to help!

How your student can show commitment:
• Make a commitment to do one thing every day
(read for 15 minutes, take a walk, journal, make your bed, etc.)
• Complete a creative family project.
• Do a chore at home for your family.
