To better meet the needs of our students that have experienced a death or loss, our school is offering a support group facilitated by Lory's Place, a Grief Healing and Education Center for Children and Families. The loss does not have to be recent for a student to benefit from the group. The group will provide grief support and education and will be facilitated by a staff member from Lory's Place. The group will meet for one class period, one a month. All students attending the group will be expected to keep up with any missed class work. After discussing this opportunity with your child, please share permission to take part in the group with our school counselor, Mrs. Fitzgerald, Feel free to contact Mrs. Fitzgerald at sfitzgerald@ccs.coloma.org, or Lory's Place at 269-983-2707 for more information. Thank you!
