2012 Scholarship Resource List

Time to Register

for the New 5 week

KTAC Sessions...

As a parent with cancer, one of the hardest things to do when you are diagnosed is talk to your family.

You may ask yourself, "How much should I tell them? I don't want to scare my children, but I don't want to lie to them either."

· You may be unclear what your child understands, "My son never says anything to me about my cancer."

· If you question "Am I going to die from this?", your child may be quietly worried too.

Kids Together Against Cancer's five week program is child and parent focused in a positive and fun environment.

Art Educators, from the Cummer Museum of Art, help children create beautiful art projects to help express their feelings.

Licensed Oncology Social Workers guide adult group discussion to help families cope with the cancer diagnosis.

How do I see my counselor?

WALK-INS WELCOME!

Before or after school you can always come by to see us! Especially if you aren't trying to catch a bus. If you are a bus rider, the best way to see us is to make an appointment.

APPOINTMENTS ENCOURAGED!
We want to give you our UNDIVIDED attention and with the number of tasks a school counselor has, that can be difficult when walking in or simply stopping by. Student Counselor Request Forms can be picked up in guidance (before or after school or between classes) and dropped off in guidance (before or after school or between classes). They sit on Ms. Menter's desk. Simply fill one out, leave it for us and we will be sure to call you out of class!
