Happy Valentine's Day and Charro Days!
The month of February is going to go fast but it is going to be a lot of
fun and a great opportunity to learn many skills. Our students are
working very hard polishing up their dance skills and at the same time
developing and improving their personal growth skills. Our Little Bit of
Mexico Program is a hands on musical, cultural and personal learning
experience for our students. They get intense exercise and physical
activity in their PE period. They learn to develop listening and
communication skills and they must be able to focus and follow
directions with great precision and timing. February 21st is the night
of the grand musical production. Students will pray that God will give
them the strength to do their best as they anxiously set up on the
stage. They dance, the applause sounds and its over. Our students have
learned that all the hard work was worth it and they really enjoy the
sense of accomplishment that they feel. They walk off the stage with
pride and with a much improved self-esteem. Oh, let’s not forget the
benefits of it being a great fundraiser and a wonderful event that has
been happening for the last 57 years.

WHAT IS THE SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM?
The counselor's primary role is to help students deal with everyday
concerns so that they may concentrate on developing their academic
potential. My unique role is to provide: methods of prevention, early
intervention, wellness and empowerment. The counselor's goal is to help
students become healthy citizens and productive adults.
WHAT DO SCHOOL COUNSELORS DO?
Counselors help students:
feel good about themselves, set successful goals, develop positive
relationships, learn decision-making and problem-solving skills, improve
academic progress, and become self-directive and responsible for their
behavior.
Counselors help teachers:
create a positive learning environment, meet the individual needs of the
student, and provide support in working with parents.
Counselors help parents:
understand their part in their child's learning experience, provide
information about their child in the learning environment, and access
services within the community. |
