Counselor Connection

The month of February is a one that is full of exciting events here at Langford! First our Mindset of the month is - Passion First. This Mindset provides students with the opportunity to think about the things that they are passionate about and how they feel when they are pursuing those things.

During their Counselor Class time with me this month, students will collaborate with their peers to solve questions/puzzles posed to them. You can support this mindset at home by simply modeling kindness towards others, thinking before we act and understanding that we are connected!
