Our job is to serve our Stinson Stars. We are here to support the children, faculty, and parents in any way we can. We go into the classrooms either every week or every other week in which students learn more about social skills, character traits, decision-making, peer pressure, friendship, conflict resolution, safety and drug awareness, and study skills. This is done through stories, puppets, questions and/or role-playing.

Throughout the year, we provide various small group counseling sessions in areas such as divorce, anger management, friendship, and social skills. Students, parents, and teachers may refer students to these groups.

We also provide a listening ear for individual students who may want to come and receive support and encouragement.

We are very proud to be a part of Stinson.
