Hi Salmo parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers and friends!

Ms. Helena here, I hope this finds you healthy as the end of 2022 wraps up and we head into the holidays. The holidays can be a stressful time of year – lots going on, lots of people involved in different plans, and lots to organize. Sometimes, this can increase the intensity of our feelings and our kids’s feelings – this is normal and understandable. I found that this resource (https://beaconhouse.org.uk/resources/) had some great tips for recognizing and balancing our energy throughout the holidays.

Below are some thoughts for the upcoming winter break. Please feel free to contact me at helena.bryn-mcleod@sd8.bc.ca anytime over the holidays if you have any questions.

Thinking of your families and wishing you well!

Cheers,

Helena Bryn-McLeod

School Counsellor
