Home and School Congratulations to Adlee Ourso and Brynne Rabalais for winning the Easter raffle! Cafeteria News Congratulations to Blayne Sturges, he is the winner of the April basket. The more you eat in the cafeteria the more you have a chance of winning next months basket. Counseling Corner This past week in guidance lessons, fourth and fifth grade discussed anger. Students in fourth grade wrote down things that make them angry, and then were able to destroy it and throw it away. This was an example of how to let go of anger. We then wrote down things that help us control our anger, or help us calm down. These were shared with the class. Fifth grade played a game in which they had to name as many things that make them angry as possible. We discussed why it is important to be able to identify what triggers our anger, as well as why, and ways to calm down. If we know what triggers our anger, we have a better chance of controlling it.
