The Counselor's Corner

The Counselor's Corner

The students at Phenix City Elementary School are excited about the opportunity to participate in the Homelessness Initiative.  Students are geared up to show kindness, generosity, and compassion when they are asked to bring items for the Homeless Shelters Supplies Drive.

After reading Sam and the Lucky Money  by Karen Chinn, PCES students have a heightened awareness of the Chinese New Year, leisees, homelessness, and giving.

Students also answered:  How would you feel if you had no home - no place to keep you safe and warm?

Feelings expressed were:

#1   Sad,

#2  Angry,

#3  Scared/Nervous,

#4  Embarrassed/Ashamed, and

#5  Lonely.

Quotable Quote:  No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
