School Counselor Appreciation Week (February 2–6) This week we proudly honor Mrs. Porter, our K–12 School Counselor, and Ms. Mueller, our rootEd Advisor, for the incredible support, guidance, and care they provide to our students every day. From classroom lessons and small groups to one-on-one encouragement and future planning, they truly amplify student success! Thank you both for all you do for our school family — we appreciate you more than words can say! #SchoolCounselorAppreciationWeek #ThankYou #StudentSuccess
Breakfast and Lunch this week...
Healthy Friendships Group Spotlight! This week, Mrs. Porter led our Healthy Friendships small group in an activity focused on identifying positive traits that make each student unique. Students learned that building strong friendships starts with accepting and respecting ourselves — and appreciating the differences in others. We love seeing these important life skills in action! #friendship #respect
Teamwork in Action: Mrs. Porter, our school counselor, had a great lesson with our 2nd graders on teamwork and sportsmanship! After learning the skills, students put them to the test in a fun and engaging activity. If you have a second grader, be sure to ask them all about it! #Teamwork #Sportsmanship
Student Spotlight! One of our seniors, Ariah Watson, truly outdid herself with her first-grade lesson on identifying emotions — it was both informative and engaging! We love watching our young leaders shine. Ariah chose this project as part of her FCCLA STAR Event and earned Gold! Way to go, Ariah! #StudentLeaders #HelpingHands
Ms Mueller, our rootEd advisor, led another successful senior check-in meeting today. The spring semester is a busy time of finalizing plans for the future and Ms Mueller is doing a great job of helping each student find a plan that is best for them.
