Impact 360 – November Issue
From Sean DeMaree
Attached is the newest edition of Impact 360! This month???s edition is centered on the idea of creating a caring community. While bully-awareness month has officially ended, I encourage all of you to continue the work of creating a community that is not only bully-free, but also promotes the growth of students connectedness and relationships.
Starting in December, Impact 360 will begin to highlight one counselor and one teacher as Impact Leaders. If you have a counselor or a teacher who are creating a social-emotional impact in your building, send a short summary of their work to sean.demaree@kckps.org, and they may end up in the next edition of Impact 360!
