To kick off the month of gratitude, we'd like to show our teachers how grateful we are to have them. This month, we'd like to treat our teachers to a soup luncheon on Monday, November 13. Below is a link to a signup if you are willing and able to donate in order to make it a success! There are slots available for the elementary and intermediate buildings. We ask that all items be brought into the office no later than the morning of November 13. Thank you for your continued support!
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!
