👀 Counselor Happenings 👀

Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

World Suicide Prevention Day: A semicolon is a symbol used in the mental health awareness movement to represent strength, hope, and a choice to continue living.

Counselors had students write the next step of their story on post it notes that were posted to a semi-colon as well as passed out stickers letting students know that their story is not over!

National Hispanic Heritage Month

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, counselors did a pop up where students were given the opportunity to color parts of a Hispanic Heritage Month Collage while listening to different styles of music unique to the Hispanic Culture. A display was also created to honor staff who identify with the Hispanic Heritage.

Individual Planning

Counselors met individually with every senior and junior to review credits for graduation as well as discuss post secondary choices.

Coping Skill of the Month

Grounding is a technique that helps turn your attention away from thoughts, memories, or worries, and refocus on the present moment.

Digital Citizenship/Social Media Parent Resources

Digital Citizenship Week is October 14-18 and encourages a positive, balanced, and healthy use of technology. Digital Citizenship is the practice of being aware of one's digital footprint, knowing the risk of online activities, and how to protect one's identity online.
