It's National School Counseling Week!!
School counselors support students in more ways than you may realize. Every day, they help students develop academic success strategies, manage emotions, and build strong interpersonal skills. Every student deserves a school counselor. This week, we proudly celebrate and thank our school counselors, Heather Watkins and Pam DeCaprio, for their dedication, care, and commitment to all students.

Our 5th graders have been reading about natural disasters and weather related events. Today they welcomed meteorologist, Christy Henderson, to learn more. Mrs. Henderson provided lots of information about weather, weather instruments, and this weekend’s threat of ice and snow. Thank you, Mrs. Henderson, for your time and expertise. Our students were so engaged and excited about all she shared with them!

Today, Mrs. Eitel’s class learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the powerful ways he helped change the world. We talked about how even children can make a difference by showing kindness, compassion, and love. Each child wrote about how they can help change the world with their own two hands.
