Ms. Craig's Counseling Corner
"Building Character: Fostering Integrity in Young Minds"
Integrity is such an important value to instill in young minds. Ms. Craig will introduce integrity through engaging activities and discussions that highlight the importance of honesty, responsibility, and doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. She will also incorporate real-life examples and stories to help students understand how integrity can positively impact their lives and relationships. By promoting integrity, this is helping to shape students into individuals with strong moral character.
The counseling class will continue to provide activities, discussions, or presentations to address topics relevant to the students' well-being and development in my one-on one, indirect, and direct counseling.
