For students, parents, and educators alike, the time between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break can seem like an eternity. Trends show that this is a time when people lose focus, begin to feel overwhelmed, and become ill. Parents please partner with us in encouraging perseverance, help students to de-stress, and to continue in fitness routines. Encourage your student to stick with challenging subjects. Our weekly Friday message is, “Finish Strong!” This is a mindset that we believe will take your child further than they imagine they can go. Help your student gain the energy needed for homework mode by rewarding them with breaks after specified work time. This will allow students time to relax and recharge. Their breaks may include time for a TV viewing, social media use or something that your student is looking forward to. Encourage your students to stay active. Students should have one hour of physical activity daily for their minds as well as their bodies. Enjoy the season but Finish Strong!

Counselor’s Corner
December 2016
Mrs. Hankley, 532-8900 EXT. 8910
It’s during this time of year I like to take time
with my family to reflect on the things and
people in our lives that we have to be thankful
for (i.e. our health, family and friends). I hope
you too will take time during this holiday sea-
son to reflect with your children on the people
and things in your lives that you are thankful
for. I would like to thank you for allowing me
to be a part of your children’s lives and helping
them on their educational journey. We look
forward to a continued partnership with you
throughout the year. I hope you enjoy your
time together during this holiday season!
