A few times a year, students get to spend their Bush Bucks on prizes at our school store. If you would like to donate to our school store, please visit our Amazon Wish List! Thank you for your donations! The students love visiting our school store.

Counseling Small Groups

Students may participate in small group counseling throughout the year in our lunch bunch groups or our counseling small groups. Lunch bunch groups will meet during your student’s lunch time with other students in their grade level. During these groups we will be getting to know one another and working on social emotional competence skills. These skills include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and responsible decision making.

Small group counseling involves meeting with a group of students for approximately six to eight weeks. During these groups, we expand on skills that we teach in our classroom lessons and practice social skills. We’ll cover topics such as friendship, anxiety, managing our emotions, conflict resolution, positive self talk, and making good choices. If you have questions about small group counseling, please contact Mrs. McCure (K,1 & 2 Counselor) or Mrs. McGhee (3 & 4 Counselor).

Lunch Bunch Topics:

Kindergarten-Successful Learning Behaviors

1st Grade- Feelings

2nd Grade - Listening Skills

3rd Grade-Organizational Skills

4th Grade-Building Relationships With Others

A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found a significant association between high social media use and increased odds of depression symptoms in adolescents.
