Counselor's Corner
November is "Gratitude is an Attitude" month, where we celebrate all the good things in our lives, both at school and home. Every day holds a bit of goodness if we take the time to find it! Our gratitude tree, where students write down people they appreciate, is blossoming with heartfelt notes and will keep growing throughout the month. Lunch Bunch is thriving, now meeting twice a week, and small groups for 1st graders and kindergarteners have increased to four times a week, focusing on building a growth mindset and understanding school expectations. As our first round of small groups concludes next week, students in the self-control groups will receive a special certificate to bring home, recognizing their efforts. Thankful tip for home: Each day, try sharing one thing you’re grateful for with your family—it’s a simple way to end the day on a positive note!
Health Fruits and Vegetables
Our school was awarded a grant for healthy fruit and vegetable snacks. With this grant we are able to provide a free fruit or vegetable snack to students. The program has a goal of providing students with an opportunity to try some unique fruits and vegetables. This week we had our first fruit snack which was dragonfruit. Most students were willing to try it!
