The Counselor's Corner

Phenix City Schools will be implementing the Homelessness Initiative in our schools

on October 15-19.  Students will have lessons on homelessness, will read Sam and the Lucky Money by Karen Chinn, and participate in a Homeless Shelters Supplies Drive.  Currently, there are over 2,000 students labeled homeless in the Muscogee County and Phenix City areas.  They often reside with relatives, neighbors, or friends.  Some sleep in their cars.  Please allow your child to bring one or more of the items listed below.  This is a great opportunity for us
to reinforce the character words of kindness, compassion, and generosity.
