GUIDANCE LESSON FOR APRIL
April was all about student MOTIVATION! We visited with students in their W. Geography, W. History, English 3 and English 4 classes and presented a lesson on the types of motivation, obstacles of motivation, and most importantly how to be more motivated. We had the students reflect on their support systems to remind them that they are not alone.
