High School Juniors Aiden Ferrel and Lucy Mortag visited Mrs. Catiller's 6th grade Exploratory class Tuesday morning. School counselor, Mrs. Sarah Prather visited the class on Wednesday morning. The students have been learning about online safety, cyber bullying, self-image, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and more. The students were able to ask Aiden, Lucy, and Mrs. Prather questions and learn about ways to overcome obstacles with these topics, and how to grow and be kind to others.
