👀 Counselor Happenings 👀

MLK Pop Up: My Own Two Hands

In January we celebrated the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King believed that all Americans should be treated fairly regardless of the color of their skin, hair, religion, age, disability or nationality.

Our pop up asked students what they can do to change the world for the better by writing down how they can the world with their own two hands.

Kindness Week

Counselors celebrated Kindness week through pops up, daily announcements, and dress up days. For our first pop up, students wrote an act of kindness they could do for another person and all hearts were use to create our kindness tree. Our second pop up, students could select a ValenKind card to give to another to spread kindness.
