I am beginning to sense a little spring fever in the air. Whether it is Clyde lounging in the sun or the Seniors ducking assignments since they got their acceptance letters or crushes proliferating in the lower school...spring is in the air (and occasionally in the temperatures)!
For the Upper School students/parents (especially those embarking on the college search), make sure to check out The Barkin' Blog here!
For any of you that have children who have a cell phone or if you are even in discussion to get your children a cell phone, check out this site NOW!!!! According to Common Sense Media: Canada’s TextED takes a comprehensive approach to addressing the potential pitfalls of texting. In addition to covering basic safety, privacy, and legal concerns, the site delves deep into what it means to be a good friend and what qualities are important in healthy relationships. (The bottom line is respect.) There’s a good mix of expert advice and activities that encourage teens to reflect on the consequences of certain behaviors and share their experiences. As a result, the site gets its messages across without sounding preachy or using scare tactics.
Exciting things are being planned here on campus! The Peer Counselors/SADD Club are sponsoring a pre-prom assembly on distracted driving, the Middle School Girl's Service Club is hosting a Conversations That Count event on March 30th, and a special Character Education event may just be coming to BA.
As always, you feedback and input matters so contact me with any questions or concerns!
