Elementary students worked on short civics lessons during counseling class in the month of October. Students are too young to vote in the state and federal elections, but they can vote for school lunch! Upper elementary students were divided into three "parties" and created posters, slogans, and commercials to promote their school lunch option. Today, all elementary students voted for their favorite school lunch. We had voting booths, a ballot box, and "I voted" stickers.

REMINDER!!

Red Ribbon Week brought a little science into elementary counseling classes. We looked at how things "change" and then can't return completely to their original state. Whether it was water changing color, solids expanding, air flow constricting, or liquids bubbling, once the reaction occurs, it's forever changed. Then we connected this to the concepts of Red Ribbon Week and how drugs and alcohol can impact the person.
