NEWS FROM OUR COUNSELOR- ALI FOLEY
Welcome to our new counselor Ali Foley! Please CLICK HERE to learn a little bit about her and CLICK HERE to view her brochure.
WHAT'S NEW?
* WORRY WARRIOR GROUP IS FORMING! The purpose of this group is to build coping skills to deal with worry. Students will learn more about deep breathing, muscle relaxation and more! Click here for more information!
* BUDDY BENCH
Suamico Elementary is lucky to have a Buddy Bench on the playground. The Buddy Bench is a playground installation where kids sit when they feel lonely, signaling other kids to ask them to play. Teaching Tolerance's article entitled Wanted: Playground Buddy - A Buddy Bench can make recess more inclusive—and more fun! explains that at least 1,000 elementary schools on six continents have installed Buddy Benches on their playgrounds. The popularity of Buddy Benches in the United States is credited to then-first-grader Christian Bucks, whose family was planning to move to Germany for his father’s job. When Christian was looking at German schools online, he saw a similar bench on one of its playgrounds. He liked the idea and shared it with the principal of his school, Roundtown Elementary in York, Pennsylvania. Christian’s family ultimately stayed in York, so after Christian started second grade in 2013, he introduced the Buddy Bench to his school during an assembly. Here is a video we created, starring some talented Panthers on the expectations of the Buddy Bench at recess. http://viewpure.com/p6xMnXX6WQo?start=0&end=0

TEAMWORK (NOUN) – THE COMBINED ACTION OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIANT
At the Howard Suamico School District, teamwork is demonstrated in many different ways. Our students participate in teamwork with athletics, music, theatre, and especially academics. Our students work together as a group, to learn, grow, and share. Teamwork is showing at Bay Harbor Elementary, where the students are preparing for the annual Fall Fest Fundraiser; Suamico Elementary is displaying teamwork at their Buddy Bench during recess; and Howard Elementary is showing their teamwork with Popcorn Fridays. Our Board of Education and administrators use teamwork to drive our mission forward. Currently, we are engaged with a Community Task Force, teaming community members with district administrators to better understand our district needs and opportunities. The goal of the Community Task Force is to make a recommendation for the Board of Education to consider. As we see every day in the Howard Suamico School District, with teamwork we can accomplish anything. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your team member located in this article.
