The Lafayette Mental Health Team (MHT) is excited to share this month’s MHT Newsletter discussing African American History Month, Black Lives Matter Week of Purpose and National School Counseling Week.

- Banana Splits (for students of parents who are divorced or separated, grades 1-5)
- Pride/SPARK club (diversity and social justice, grades 4-5)
- Book Club (grades 2-5)
- ASL Club (grades 2-5, in conjunction with Brianne Burger, parent volunteer)

We are enjoying having fun with students and interacting with them via these groups. If you have questions or would like more information about a group please reach out to any member of the Mental Health Team:
