Dear Parents:
These last two weeks Right from the Start's Deren Alward visited all classes at ERS to introduce himself to the students and let them know that he is around to help with issues that concern them and their classmates. He introduced the older grades 6,7,and 8 to Comfy Chats with Mr D, where he enters the classroom with his comfy bean bag chairs and has an open dialogue about about relevant topics the kids have brought up and want to talk about. The purpose of this is to have an additional outlet where students voices are being heard and acted upon. The younger grades (4 and 5) will be having classes that will be also of personal interest, including Bucket Filling, How to Stand Up, and Self Confidence.
The overall intent of these visits is to promote positive mental health. Here is a link to the RFTS newsletter for September: https://conta.cc/2O
If you have an interest or concern that you believe is relevant to your child or the students in general at the LGMS, you are always welcome to reach out.
Thanks,
Deren Alward
