 Message from Mrs. Cunningham -The Counselor

 

We all share a common goal for our children to be safe and protected from all things harmful. The Think First & Stay Safe™ program is a research-based program that teaches specific personal safety education by way of interactive classroom lessons, classroom posters, role plays and corresponding activities to prevent abuse and exploitation. A parent preview of the program will be February 25 and 26 in the counseling suite. During the months of February-April, our school counselor will offer the sexual abuse prevention and safety lessons to all K-5 students. Please contact Angel Cunningham, at 770-736-5278 if you have any questions or concerns.
