For many years, Wickliffe PTO's enrichment program, After School Discovery (ASD), has given students the opportunity to pursue diverse interests through fun extracurricular courses each trimester. Plans are underway to bring ASD back for the winter session, and expanding the team that manages ASD is critical to its success.

We are seeking volunteers for the roles of managing relationships with instructors, families, the school, and/or technology. Ideally, two or three volunteers would focus on each of these roles, alternating taking the lead each trimester while being supported by other members of the team. Time commitment varies from one to five hours per week during the peak periods for each role.

Find more information or volunteer at https://forms.gle/yGYksc2Zcq7SAiqKA.

Counseling Team updates - October 12:

Our early fall groups will be wrapping us this month. We have enjoyed having your children engage in these meaningful opportunities. The late fall groups will start the first week of November. If you are interested in having your child participate, please email Dr. Kassoy (fkassoy@uaschools.org).

• Worry Warriors: For kiddos who have a lot of *big worries* about the world around them. Whether it has to do with the challenges of COVID-19, experiencing a new school year, or something else outside of school, it can be very overwhelming for kids to try to tackle these worries on their own. We hope that this group will empower these children to gain control over their worries and discover their inner warriors!

• Super Sibs: For children who have siblings with *different* needs. The goal of the group is to provide support for these students, and give them a safe space to share common experiences that come along with having a sibling who has different abilities. Through stories, conversations, and activities, our hope is that these kiddos will feel supported knowing that they have a group of friends at school who also understand what it means to be a Super Sib!

And we are delighted that TOAD Talks and Mindful Mornings will continue on designated Tuesdays shared by Ms. McEvoy, Lucy Cheng, and Ann Bixel.

Food for Thought

I stumbled upon this article after my Sunday morning stroll with my friend, Chris. Each week we walk our COVID-rescue puppies (now dogs) together. Over the years, we have really bonded through these outdoor visits!  Research actually shows that conversations in nature might help families connect. Gina Decaprio Vercesi, a journalist for National Geographic, explains why and how you can get started (or why you should keep doing it)! 

And I hope this blog by Ohio Health gives you some new ideas of ways to experience the beauty of this fall while enjoying the benefits of being outdoors with your family.

Happy walking, talking, exploring, and connecting!

Until next week,

The Counseling Team 

Felice Kassoy, Sarah Perry, Sarah Moyer, and Megan Montana
