🎃💥 SMASH the Pumpkin, RELEASE the Worries!

Sometimes, you just have to SMASH those worries away! 💪🏽🧡

This week, Thompson Tigers participated in a fun SEL activity that encouraged them to identify their worries, express their feelings, and practice letting go of what weighs them down.

Because big feelings deserve healthy outlets, and little minds deserve peace! 🐯🧡

❤️🐯 Meet our Counseling Cadets!

Counselor Bethany is developing student leaders through our Counseling Cadets—students who are learning how to lead with empathy, support their peers, and serve as SEL ambassadors within their grade levels!

They’re learning that leadership isn’t just about having a title—it’s about noticing others, showing kindness, and helping create a school where everyone feels seen and supported. 🫶🏾

We love seeing our Tigers learn how to make an IMPACT! 🐯✨
