Lunch with the Counselors

Ms. Rivera and Ms. Sarten, our amazing counselors, recently led a lunchtime activity called "Better Together with the Counselors," where students gathered to discuss an important topic: self-love. During the meeting, everyone learned why loving ourselves is important. Ms. Rivera and Ms. Sarten explained that when we love ourselves, it makes it easier to care for others. It's like filling up our own love tank so we can share that love with others around us.

In the meeting, students shared their thoughts and experiences about self-love. Some talked about things they do to show themselves love, like spending time doing things they enjoy or giving themselves positive affirmations. Others discussed how loving themselves helps them feel happier and more confident, which in turn helps them be kinder and more caring towards their friends and classmates. Students also illustrated ways they take care of themselves mentally and physically.

Ms. Rivera and Ms. Sarten ended the meeting by encouraging everyone to practice self-love every day. They shared some simple tips, like saying kind things to ourselves, taking care of our bodies by eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep, and doing things that make us happy. A huge thank you to our counselors for making connections with our students!
