Bigs and Littles is an after-school program that pairs a high school student, called a "Big," with an elementary school student, called a "Little." The group meets once a week, other than holiday breaks, and discusses important topics such as self-esteem, feelings, healthy friendships, drug and alcohol prevention, and more! The facilitator leads the topics and activities and the Bigs' role is to support the Littles. Open to all genders! Groups will be after school. Interested Bigs must complete the attached application forms. The tentative start date is the end of October/beginning of November. Return your application to Mrs. Gunn in the Counseling Office.
