Annie's Hope

This year we have the opportunity to partner with Annie’s Hope, a bereavement center that supports children grieving the death of a loved one.  An Annie’s Hope counselor and I will facilitate a six-week group for students this year.  Our group must have a minimum of six students with a maximum of ten.  Whether the group takes place this fall or next spring depends upon the response and need of our school community.  If, for any reason, we are not able to support the group, I will contact families directly with information about the programs Annie’s Hope offers at their center on Lockwood and Berry.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.  If you are interested in having your child participate, please contact me by September 10, 2019.
