Back to School
"Be Kind to Your Mind"
Summer time is full of fun adventures, like going to the beach, traveling with family and friends, and even eating a few scoops of ice cream. Now, that school is approaching we all need to
Be Kind to our Mind getting in the groove before school starts. Here are three reMINDers that will help your mind shine this school year:
- Go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. Set your alarm clock now, to get in the routine. *
- Find a place in your house to place all of your school supplies in (book-bag, lunchbox, folders, helmets, etc.)
- Take 10 minutes each day and do something relaxing - go for a walk, read a book or newsletter, or write in your journal/ notebook.
Prepare for a great school year by getting in the groove, right now!

I'm a School Counselor - What's your superpower? I am entering my seventh year as a school counselor, and my first year at Tildenville Elementary - WOOHOOO!!
My job is: to help you manage big feelings and work out problems; to create a school community of support and respect; and to remind you how special you are. My favorite phrase is "You Got This" because I believe in you, and I want you to believe in yourself. Cheers to a great school year!
I LOVE SCHOOL COUNSELING!
