Tomorrow night, that’s Monday, February 26, our counselor is hosting a parent night. On this night, we will have guest counselors and therapists along with Mrs. James and myself will be sharing strategies and ideas to help support students with social emotional development. Our children are faced with an onslaught of forces such as social media, peer pressure, and television. Children are developing anxiety, attention issues, power control issues and self-esteem struggles. We want to offer practical supports and ideas to help parents and students find ways to problem-solve and find peace at home in a world that often feels chaotic. We will start at 5:45 with cookies and snow cones and then meet starting at 6:00. I don’t know about you, but I feel these struggles every day with my own family and I’m looking forward to hearing some ideas to help me be a better parent. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school at 968-2084 and ask for Mrs. James or Mrs. Shirley.
