MARCH 2011 Washington Local Schools Vol. 2 - Issue 7
Happy March! I am sure we are all feeling stressed right now, getting ready for OAA’s, participating in school-wide events, and just managing the day-to-day issues that come up. Remember that I am always here to help. I enjoy knowing what is happening in your classroom. While I may not be able to spend all the time I’d like to with your students, I will do my absolute best to meet your needs. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to stop by my office, drop me an email, or call my extension (8266).
Have a great March!

I can’t stop talking about Storybird!
I also can’t stop using Storybird! I have written six stories
on my long weekends. It is extremely fun and relaxing. I
definitely recommend it!

On Storybird, you can: • Create your own stories
• Read stories for FREE
• Create a reading list of other Storybird
members’ stories for your students to
read
• Create a class page, giving students
writing and/or reading assignments

Bully Free Week
Classroom Guidance
Bully Free Awareness Week is a school-wide program designed to enhance the prosocial skills
that we instill in our students each and every day.
For this event, we will finish our classroom bullying training, hold a door decorating contest,
and your class will be given a special “gift” from me.
Thank you for your continuous support!
You now have your own Counseling Café!
If you would like another menu of Hiawatha’s school counseling services, just let
me know. You can order an appetizer, main course, and/or dessert. It is up to you.
As stated in your menu, I am more than willing, as your “chef”, to provide custom
orders and substitutions. Bon appetite!
