Before you know it school will be out for the summer. Parents need to keep their children reading and learning all summer long. One suggestion for the months of July and August is to take your child to the library. Whether parents engage their children in organized library activities or simply let them choose their own reading materials from the library, children will be inclined to keep reading and building important skills that could otherwise be lost during the summer months. Wishing all the Palmer children and their families a pleasant and safe summer!
SCHOOL COUNSELOR’S CREED
I will:
Listen with my whole being;
Communicate to every student I meet that each is special and precious in my eyes.
Encourage and support the students when they feel despair.
Correct gently and point them in a direction that is true to their own life spirit.
Parent those who need it and befriend those who have lost faith in adults.
Keep my promises to them.
Be there when everyone else loses heart and turns away from them.
Point their eyes to their own beautiful selves.
Affirm every creative spark that emanates from their mouths and their actions.
Believe in students’ dreams and persist in assisting them to imagine what some say is impossible.
See miracles that they perform in everyday tasks at home and at school.
Remind the students that they can get along with each other no matter what the problem.
Give the students I meet each day a chance to be happy, successful, and caring people.
Love the students always.
