Dear Parents/Guardian,

 

The counseling program at St Leo the Great School works with students individually, in

classroom settings and in small groups to help develop skills and strategies to promote

educational success. Small groups are designed to support students through many

phases of growth and change during their elementary school years. Additionally, 

small groups allow social learning experiences and a chance for students to express

themselves.

 

This year we are excited to continue our small groups called Lunch Bunches. The goal

of the Lunch Bunch program is to develop skills in different areas such as friendship,

communication, anger management, study skills and social skills. Students usually

enjoy interacting with their peers in a small group setting and are comforted by

discovering that other children are navigating the same challenges they are

experiencing as well. These groups meet for approximately 20 minutes once a week

for 4-5 weeks during their lunch in the counselor’s office. During this time, the students

will have conversations, play fun games, learn new skills, and share what they have experienced.

 

Parent/Guardian permission is requested for student participation in the Lunch Bunch

program. A form will be sent out by grade, if you would like your child to participate.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at [email protected] if you have any

questions about the program.
