In an effort to foster respect, responsibility, and integrity in our students, a school-wide program was initiated this year to recognize students who demonstrate those qualities. A drawing is held each Friday from the names submitted the previous week. Those students receive prizes, while all names add to the growing mural in the hallway outside the media center.
Many people ask about the effects of divorce on children.
Not only have the counselors observed this countless times but it is also proven through research that the children who suffer through with the least amount of ill effects are those whose parents are the least combative. Messy divorces, with highly conflicted parents whose children are the topics of most of the arguments, create a great deal of emotional trouble for the child. The resulting resentment will fuel the anger that is already present to unbearable proportions. The child's love for the parents, no matter the parent's faults, should be respected.
