Miss Heschl, School Guidance Counselor

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve the students and families of St. Mary School. I look forward to joining you again for the 2019-2020 academic school year. Please remember to reach out to me should your child need any support during the school year.

Activities for Home

~~~

Chores are one way to help children see that they are contributing members of the family. Learning to do their part at home not only helps them learn to cooperate, it also helps develop confidence.

~~~

Try doing something with all family members. It can be a family garden making pizzas together, or board game night.

~~~

Watch a TV show together. After the show, talk with your child about whether they saw any examples of cooperation in the show.
