Owls were learning some exercises today with Jason at Enzo Athletics in North Platte. Jason said clients come in and receive personal training to learn the importance of exercising and to do the exercises correctly to prevent injuries. He said they want people to enjoy exercising. The students did planks, worked on the rings, did push ups and lunges. They had fun and worked hard. Thank you Jason!

A hard of hearing student can have a hard time keeping up with the conversation during a group activity especially when everyone is talking at the same time. Please inform your students to each take a turn and make sure the hearing impaired student is looking at them before they start talking.
Happy National School Counseling Week!
