The Wee Care Babysitter Course is about half-way done. These ladies have done an excellent job! Today they shopped at Family Dollar and made babysitter bags for themselves based upon the information about the 6 stages of play, child development, and toy safety. They worked collectively to help each other decide on purchases, and they did any excellent job of staying under a given budgeted amount. They are super shoppers, super girls, and will be Super Sitters!

There will be no school for Lewis County students tomorrow, February 18th or Monday February 21st. Please review the Lewis County Schools calendar on our website, lewisboe.com.

Due to staff absences and lack of substitute coverage, there will be no school for all 8th grade students at RLBMS on Wednesday, February 16th. If possible, students are encouraged to log in to Schoology and complete work for the day.

My favorite thing about being a school counselor is the relationships I get to build with kids. I love getting to know kids and getting to share in their struggles and successes. Watching a kid learn new skills for working through their emotions and gain the confidence that they have the ability to help themselves feel better is what it's all about. My goal every day is to be a safe space for kids to experience their emotions and work through their problems. I love being at the middle school, these kids the best!
