Military Families
Circle of Courage
If your child has a parent/guardian who is currently deployed, please consider enrolling him/her in our after-school group called the Circle of Courage! We meet in the cafeteria from 3:00-4:00 every Thursday. This group is led by the school counselor, Ms. Caine, and was created after a student whose father was serving overseas asked if he could start a support group for other students at the school dealing with the absence of a family member. If you are interested, please complete the letter attached below and return it to Ms. Caine.
