Dear Boehm Families,
We are happy to announce that the Pennsbury Middle School campus will be partnering with several outside service providers to bring more emotional support opportunities to our schools, including Treehouse and Strengthening Families with Child and Family Focus.
Treehouse will be facilitating a support group at each of our middle schools for students who may be experiencing a hardship or struggle in his or her life. The goal of the peer support group is to create a space where students feel safe sharing what’s going on in their lives and receive support from peers and adult leaders (see the attached flyer). The group will meet one time per week during the school day throughout the school year. Treehouse Permission Form
Strengthening Families (SFP) is a seven-session evidence-based prevention program that is effective in improving family relationships and decreasing family conflicts. SFP reduces the likelihood of youth alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use, decreases youths’ experience of depression and anxiety, and increases youths’ engagement in school and overall school success. This program will be held virtually and will take place on Wednesday nights This program is open to students and families from all three middle schools. Please complete the registration form here: Strengthening Families Series Form
If you have any questions or would like additional information on any of these things, please contact your child's School Social Worker.
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a school-based initiative designed to support students who are experiencing challenges that may affect their success in school. These challenges can include academic, behavioral, emotional, or social issues. The goal of SAP is to identify students who need help and connect them with appropriate resources. Please click here to read more information about our SAP Program.
We are excited to announce that our SAP Counselor is considering offering several voluntary support groups during the school day to help our students thrive. These groups are designed to provide students with valuable skills and support in various areas. Participation in these groups will require family permission.
The groups we are considering include:
Mindfulness/Stress Management
Time Management/Study Skills
Self-Esteem
We believe these groups can make a positive impact on our students’ well-being and academic success. If your child is interested in participating in any of these groups, please complete the attached interest survey and return it to the SAP Counselor by September 27, 2024.

Thank you for your support and involvement in your child’s education. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
