ACT ONE

Act One is a muti-disciplinary response to child sexual abuse. The Act was signed into law in March of 2009 in the state of Vermont. Section 3 of the Act requires schools to educate children on how to recognize and prevent sexual abuse and sexual violence. In Malletts Bay School that task is performed by the school counselors. I will begin to educate my classes on this very important subject beginning the third quarter, January 14, 2013. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or to view the curriculums I will be using-264-5898.

I will  also send family members helpful information regarding child sexual abuse prevention and what you can do by way of my blog. Please check in again for helpful tips.

OPTIMISM

An Optimism group will be starting the first of the year. The research is clear-attitude matters. Students who are generally optimistic enjoy better physical health, flourish in relationships, can be more successful in school, and are more equipped to handle stress. Brain research has shown that optimism is more a learned trait than a genetic one. We can train our brain to have an optimistic perspective. How about you-glass half full or half empty?
For more information and sign up for this group please give me a call at 264-5898. Or your child may simply let me know they are interested.
