The Park Faculty enjoyed a fun opening social last week with some delicious nachos and an intense Cornhole tournament! It was great to fit in a little fun after school one day after all this great learning and teaching we've been doing! What an impACTful group of individuals!

For her monthly grade level lessons, our school counselor Mrs. J taught about why it's important to identify emotions in yourself and others.   We talked about how emotions are like a traffic signal: they give us really important information that can keep us safe.  Students learned that there is no such thing as a bad emotion.  But also, if you ignore or try to push away those uncomfortable emotions, emotional eruptions or explosions can happen.  Just like shaking up a can of soda, the pressure mounts and one little thing can make you "pop your top".
