Counselor's Corner

Hello, families!

This fall we’re diving into the concept of a growth mindset! We'll explore how believing in our ability to learn and grow can help us overcome challenges and achieve our goals. Through engaging activities and discussions, students will learn that making mistakes is a natural part of learning and that effort leads to improvement.

Encourage your child to embrace challenges and celebrate their progress, no matter how small. Together, we can foster resilience and a love for learning!

As always, if you have any questions or if your child needs additional support, please feel free to reach out. Let’s make this month about growth and possibility!

Best,
Melanie Ankersheil
School Counselor
