PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (S.E.L.) PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT
Social Emotional Learning is a group that focuses on helping students discuss how they feel, encourages students to be kind to one another, as well as helping students with social skills. This past month, we had a guest from Domestic Violence Services work with students on calm down strategies for managing their anger, how to show empathy for other people’s feelings, how to be a good friend, and how students can handle bullying.

WRAPPING UP
PARENT ENGAGEMENT
Often, as families look ahead, we tend to set goals for ourselves, our children and our family as a whole. But as we all know, sometimes our goals are pushed to the side because they become unattainable, unattainable simply because in reality, our goals may not match up with who we are currently. What are some goals you have set currently in your family’s life? For some helpful tips on goal setting, follow this link.
