The Counselor's Corner

In classroom guidance, we will focus on three celebrations.  On December 8, 2012, our Jewish community will be celebrating Hanukkah.  The students are learning about the Eight Days of Lights, the menorah, gelt, latkes, and the driedal game.  Students enjoy and appreciate learning about other cultures and their celebrations.  December 25, 2012 will be Christmas and Kwanzaa will begin on December 26, 2012.

Our character word of the week is Patience:  Patience means the ability to remain calm.  It is willingness to put up with waiting.  Students are anxiously awaiting Christmas.

Quotable Quote:  "A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation."
