Message from Counselor Keri

Counselor Keri here! I have been LOVING getting to know your students in SEL so far this year. Students are craving peer connections during remote learning. To help with this, I am offering weekly virtual lunch bunches for each grade starting the week of 10/26! Any student is welcome to come to their grade level lunch bunch! This is also completely optional. Have questions? Give me a call or email: (425)528-0977 or [email protected].
