Banana Splits Group

The elementary counseling program is pleased to offer “Banana Splits!” This group has been very helpful to students in the past and we are looking forward to a successful year. I hope that the following overview will be helpful to both you and your child.

What is “Banana Splits?”
“Banana Splits” is a peer support group for students who are facing issues of separation or divorce.

When is it?
The schedule varies by school building. Students will have the opportunity to attend during lunch, or before or after school depending on the building. A tentative schedule is below:

4th 1st Grades
Begin the week of 10/6
End the week of 12/1

3rd 2nd Grades
Begin the week of 1/12
End the week of 2/23

K 6th Grades
Begin the week of 3/2
End the week of 4/6

5th Grade
Begin the week of 5/4
End the week of 6/15

* This schedule is tentative and subject to revisions

What do we do?
We try to help each other by talking and sharing our feelings. If we don’t have much to talk about, we play games and work on projects that build our confidence and encourage skills such as communication and teamwork. “Banana Splits” encourages children to see that they are not alone, explore how to help themselves feel better, and increase communication at home.

Do many kids join?
In other schools, there were “Banana Splits” members from every class in Kindergarten through sixth grade.

How do you join?
Permission slips will be sent home before the group is scheduled to start for a particular grade. Simply fill it out and return it to school.

Classroom Guidance

Mrs. Bordis will be visiting classrooms throughout the school year and helping students learn about specific topics. So far we have learned about Tolerance, Bullying and Stranger Safety.
