We are having a BLAST learning all the things that school counselors do for us here at WHES! First graders got to play Pin the Role on the Counselor! They were read a card to see if this is something that counselors do and, if we do, they got to pin it on Mrs. Donaldson! We had a blast!
Lessons will be with Kindergarten, Fourth and Fifth grade next week about the same thing! Looking forward to it! We are so excited to have the kids back in the building! It feels like things are finally beginning to get back to normal! At the end of the day yesterday, I asked several kids if they were coming back and they ALL said, resoundingly, YES!!! The kids are already settling into the structure with the teachers and all seem to be so happy!
With that said, I know there may be some things that we are all still dealing with. Whether your child is dealing with a little anxiety, fear, grief, or confusion about everything that has surrounded this pandemic, know that they are not alone. Also know, and feel completely confident, that we are fully equipped in helping you and your child through all of this. We are going to continue our tradition of providing academic excellence this year, but also supporting our students socially and emotionally. If you ever have any concern about how your child is doing in all three of those areas, please do not hesitate to reach out. As this is my 15th year at WHES, I am very honored to serve as your school counselor. I am available from 7:30-3:00 Monday-Friday at 723-2308. You may also email me at any time at [email protected]. Here's to a GREAT 2021-2022 school year! |
