My name is Ms. Geri and I am your School Counselor. I wanted to share some exciting things I’ll be doing this School Year.
For grades preschool thru 5th grades – Ninja Ms. Geri will be returning!
The kids seemed to really enjoy the Ninja Life Hacks books so I have made some new lessons introducing new ninjas this year. They are as follows:
September– Listening
October– Organized
December– Motivated
January– Gritty
February– Jealous
March– Frustrated
April– Worry
May– Dishonest
For Jr. High, I am bringing back my recorded lessons idea but on new topics. They are as follows:
September– Anxiety
October– Homework strategies/Organizational skills
December– Confidence
January– Eating issues
February– Motivational skills
March– Depression
April– Positive Mindset
May– Cell phone addiction
In October, I am working with Student Council and some 7th grade students to do some skits with the whole school for National Bully Prevention Month.
In November, I will be delivering a safe environment lesson to each class - Preschool through 8th grade. Besides all of that, I see many students for one-on-one counseling. I will also be doing different things like a bookclub and groups to help different kids with a variety of issues. Those will come about as the school year continues and issues arise that I’d like to address.
I’m here to answer any questions or concerns or to help in any way I can.
Thank you,
Geri Berwanger, MSEd
Students may be referred to our on campus counselor, Ms. Geri, by parents, teachers or administrators. The counselor will see a student/group one time if there has been a concern. Parent(s) will be contacted by the appropriate person if further counseling is needed. If parents want to request for their student to meet with Ms. Geri please fill out the necessary paperwork.
