The social-emotional lesson topic for February was Honesty! Students learned what honesty is, why it is important, and how they can increase trust across their relationships. The social-emotional classroom lesson topic for all grade levels in March will be Fairness vs Equal.
PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports):
We had an amazing turnout for our PBIS family night on February 22nd! The theme was Family Feud and we all had a blast. Every student left with a prize, a cookie, and a smile on their face.

We Are THRILLED to have an MFLC!!!
Greeting Webster Military Families,
My name is Akia Isom and I am the new Military and Family Life Counselor at Webster
Elementary. I just wanted to send this letter to tell you all a little bit about me and the MFLC
program.
About Me: I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am also a military child, my dad
retired from Ft Carson when I was in high school at Widefield. So I grew up in District 3. My
husband also retired from the navy, so I have witnessed first hand how military life impacted our
4 children.
Included is information about the MFLC program and a permission slip. Please note that I am
unable to meet with your students and/or your family without the signed form. Overall, I am a
free resource for your military family whether you or your child need to talk, develop additional
skills, and/or need resources. My contact information is below, and I look forward to serving you.
