If you’d like to help support the counseling program, here are a few ways you can do so:

Ask your student(s) about their counseling lessons! Find out what they’re learning so you can support these skills at home.
E-mail me and volunteer to help prepare counseling materials (copying, cutting, laminating, organizing)
Have another idea? Please let me know! A parent-school partnership is how we best support all of our students!
