Incredible news to kick off our week here in Carmel๐ This title means so much more than just the win. It represents whatโs POSSIBLE when you work hard and support each other. Proud of our football team & community for this incredible page added to our history book โค๏ธ๐
Day 1 of #NYASP2021 & thereโs already so much to soak in! Starting with an awesome keynote speech from @_charlesbarrett followed by a crash course in neuroscience ๐ง So glad to see CHS already has this box checked with creating a trauma informed climate ๐
Taking the rare opportunity that Halloween affords us to dress in costume, to remind everyone about your #selfcare practice! You canโt pour from an empty cup ๐ค wishing you all a safe & healthy Halloween ๐
CONGRATS to the CHS class of 2021 and to everyone in the Carmel community who supported each other & our students through this year. This moment wouldnโt have been possible without the collective effort. What a year and what an ending. We are so proud of you all ๐ฉโ๐
Status update: TENURED ๐ two of Carmelโs very own made their way back home and onto the districtโs clinical team, both in the role of school psychologist. Proudly accepting tenure status is how this homecoming parade ends! #carmel6cs#WelcomeHome#alumni
Canโt let the week close out without wishing our #socialworkers a Happy Social Work Week ๐ Thank you for the ESSENTIAL support you provide for our students, families and community. And if youโre at CHS, for keeping one psychologist glued together ๐คช #SchoolSocialWorkWeek
A fantastic article on how to support students through the disappointment of college rejection. The message can more broadly be applied to how we help our students deal with disappointment & setbacks, particularly in the age of social comparisons. #carmel6cs#sel#growthmindset

Our Rainbow club has officially declared it Spirit Week ๐ on top of daily treats like this, a bulletin will be used for coworkers to post shoutouts to each other ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ & that, my friends, is how you boost morale in a pandemic #carmel6cs#sel#KindnessMatters @justbecadence
Took a break between counseling, testing & phone calls to say THANK YOU to our amazing counselors here at CHS. We are so appreciative of everything you do for our students. Then took a few more minutes to have โjust a small sliceโ ๐คฅ of cake ๐ #SchoolCounselorWeek#carmel6cs
#EmotionalIntelligence was coined 30 yrs ago. 1000s of articles & millions spent on training. Yet, we still struggle to honestly answer the question: How are you feeling? Thatโs why I wrote #PermissionToFeel, released today! @YaleEmotion@rulerapproach https://t.co/uqT4IsysPr

Despite ongoing division our country is facing, 1 thing united us during advisory today-the stress of school! Sad as that may sound, it was nothing but. We named feelings, normalized our experience & shared strategies with how to better our day ๐ช๐ผ #carmel6cs#nameit2tameit
The creative โ๏ธ are turning & no, itโs not the 2 (fine 3) cups of โ๏ธ, itโs the time spent collaborating with our wonderful department chair @KarenWrobel1 ! Eager to continue the convo on how we can meet student needs as we enter 2nd half of the year #carmel6cs#wegotthis
If any CHS teachers are looking for a way to discuss today's events with classes tomorrow, I'd be happy to come talk about the importance of knowing how to evaluate information and the perils of spreading misinformation. I'm free 4th, 5th and 7th tomorrow.
