Dear Saints,
Blessings on your Holy Week. We are in the final stretch now with just four days until Easter Break. This will be the last Counseling Corner until we return from Easter Break and we have a busy week! There will be an assembly schedule on Thursday for Easter Chapel and Friday there will be no school in observance of Good Friday.
It has been such a pleasure getting to know each and every parent and student on Mrs. Yakinian's caseload while she has been out on Maternity leave. She will be returning on Monday, April 29, and I know has missed each and everyone of you!
In Christ,
Mrs. Garcia

LOVE. Well that seems easy right? Not always when you are raising a teenager. It is as important as ever to make your child feel loved and protected. The teenage years are difficult and are a time when they are "finding themselves." Sometimes teens are hard to love, but it is at that time they need love the most. Remember, you don't have to go at it alone!
