It doesn't take much to make a teacher's day, and one of the easiest ways to do that is treating them to a Sonic drink! If you would like to provide Sonic drinks for our teachers (we get them on Fridays) please reach out to Mrs. Burns (tburns@blairoaks.org) for further details. Drinks can be donated on behalf of an individual, an organization/business, or even anonymously if that is preferred.
For the month of October, the topic we focused on in Counseling was safety. Throughout this month, we focused on a few different things that have to do with this topic. We talked about personal safety, which included a discussion about making safe and smart choices when around strangers or people we don't know and a discussion about keeping ourselves and our bodies safe and telling a trusted adult if we feel unsafe or uncomfortable. We also celebrated Red Ribbon Week, where we talked about making healthy / safe choices and saying no to drugs and alcohol. In addition, we discussed peer pressure and the importance of saying no / not giving in when others are pressuring us to make unsafe choices.
Make sure to check back in about a month for another update on what we are doing in Counseling!
