Those funds can be spent at the online store or reactivated in your students name for current or future book fairs.

BOOSTING BRAVERY is a FREE leadership program for teens who self-identify as girls from anywhere in the US. In weekly small “teams“ older girls use BB Modules to lead younger girls in building skills around in-person and online emotional and relationship challenges. The older girls get guidance from women mentors.

It is all about having fun, creating positive bonds, and boosting key life skills.

If your student is struggling with the loss of a loved one, either recent or in the past please let us know so we can provide some support. We will be offering grade-level grief groups that will consist of six sessions, meeting once per week for 20-30 minutes during the school day. In this group, we will discuss feelings we have when we lose someone we love, ways to cope with our loss/what we can do to feel better and most importantly celebrate/honor the memories of our loved ones. Students can learn from one another and build relationships with others who understand what loss feels like. If you would like your student to participate see the attached Grief Support Group Permission Slip. If you have any questions regarding the group, please feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to working with your child and helping him or her through this process.

Sincerely,

Andrea Dinardo, LMSW
