December: Personal Body Safety
This month our classroom lessons will be centered around Personal Body Safety. These lessons are designed to teach students about understanding personal boundaries and knowing what to do if they ever feel unsafe. These lessons will also assist students in identifying the trusted adults in their lives whom they can go to if they need help or feel unsafe.
If you have any questions about the content of these lessons or would like resources to continue these discussions at home, please feel free to reach out to School Counselors: Blair Shelley and/or Morgan Johnston.
We believe that by working together, we can build a foundation for lifelong safety and well-being for our students.
