Concord Counseling Updates

Once again we have pulled together and helped many families during this special season. Please know our families who received these gifts were most grateful. We made Christmas brighter for many. Thank you for passing along good will.

Our fifth grade students shared Christmas songs and cards this past Wednesday. What a great way to start our holiday break. Wishing everyone blessings for a healthy and happy holiday season.

C all a friend, relative, a trusting adult or go to your school counselor A ccept what you cannot change about the situation R e-frame how you think about the situation E nourage a friend or someone else who may be feeling sad

We plan to repeat this process with different topics throughout of the year. Here is a sample of a student's entry:  Calming Tips Read Run Snuggle with pets Bake Color Do arts and crafts stuff Organize Clean Sing/hum Listen to music Talk to an adult or friend Take a nap Time on an electronic Do stuff outside
