✨ Counselor Corner: Friday Feature ✨ 👋🏻 Hi families! We’re Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Barnes, your school counselors. Each Friday, we get the special job of teaching our students important skills for school and life. Over the course of 2 Fridays, we will have seen all Wilson students. ⭐️ Some of the topics we’ll cover this year include: • Friendship & kindness 💕 • Emotions & coping strategies 🌈 • Circle of Control 🎯 • Problem-solving & decision making 🧩 • Internet Safety (with the help of Heart Matters) 💻 • Growth mindset & goal setting 🚀 By giving students these tools, we’re helping them build confidence, resilience, and healthy relationships—skills that go far beyond the classroom. 👨‍👩‍👧 How Parents Can Help: We’ll share updates here so you know what your child is learning each week. We encourage you to talk with your student about these lessons at home. Stay tuned each Friday for our Counselor Corner Update so you can chat with your student about what they learned! 🗣💡 — Mrs. Farmer & Mrs. Barnes 💙
