Cougar News - Week of 2/19/24
Reminder... No School on Monday!
Letter from Ms. Bedford
Hello Smallville,
I hope you had an amazing week! Tonight ,we will be dancing the night away at our Valentine’s dances! This event will help raise funds for our 8th grade end of the year activities. As the spring semester moves along, our Cougar’s schedules become filled with tryouts, testing, and completing course work. It’s important that we stay tapped into how these various activities may cause some anxiety with our students. As we all know, feelings of anxiety can look different for every person. What I love most about this campus is our approach to helping our students with the stressors of middle school life.
Our counseling team is always ready to- go to meet your student’s needs. Our admin team is also available to lend an ear or a helpful hand and of course our entire staff is here to create the strong, positive atmosphere that we love about Smallville!
Our campus focus on building strong social and emotional strategies with our students helps during this busy time of the year, so continue to check in with your Cougars and reach out to the campus if support is needed.
Have an amazing long weekend! We will see everyone on Tuesday!
Stay Present Cougars,
Bedford
