Fall Family Nights are a cherished Evergreen tradition. It’s a wonderful time for families to explore our classroom culture, step into our community, and see firsthand the incredible learning and expeditions our scholars are working on.
|
Plus, it's an opportunity to support our classrooms! With the launch of our annual giving campaign, every dollar goes to sustaining classroom budgets and lowering the cost of End-of-Year trips.
|
We will have parking available at our upper and lower lots. Once these are full we will have overflow parking at Asheville Gospel Chapel with a shuttle running. Please give yourself time for parking, shuttling and dropping scholars off at their classroom.

Ever After & Fall Family Nights

Halloween Costume Exchange
|
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Let’s do our part in keeping costumes out of the landfills! If you have gently used Halloween costumes from years past, please bring them in and we will facilitate a costume exchange.
|
Drop off your gently used costumes in the office and during Fall Family Nights come in and “shop” our free collection for a new (to you) costume! All leftover costumes will be available for students to grab in the office on Friday 10/23.

Counseling Corner
|
In continuing with the ‘theme’ of this month’s Counseling Corner, highlighting important dates within our community, October also marks Emotional Wellness Month!
|
Emotional wellness is a key factor for a student’s day-to-day experiences– in school, at home, and navigating both expected and sudden transitions that come with a full schedule and academic progress. When emotional obstacles arise for students, having the language and the tools necessary to navigate their experiences makes a stark difference in the development of resilience. The more aware, knowledgeable, and comfortable an individual is regarding their emotional wellness holds a direct correlation with the ability to embrace change, or a ‘growth mindset’ in future problem-solving endeavors.
|
While many people are familiar with Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Emotional Wellness Month focuses on the everyday tasks we engage in to build our self-care practices, and ‘little r’ resilience– the strategies and tools we use to manage everyday stress. Across different ages, emotional wellness may look different based on developmental needs. Here are a few things to keep in mind when checking in with your student regarding their emotional needs:
|
| |
| • | Identifying Coping Strategies- When your student is dysregulated, or has a ‘bad day’, take note of what their first instinct is to address their emotional state. What habits or knowledge do they currently hold regarding self-regulation? Channeling their subconscious needs through observing, supporting, and redirecting external cues of dysregulation can provide both a model of positive coping strategies and the beginning of a framework for student success.
|
|
| • | Encourage Self-Compassion- Our self-talk informs more than just our self-perception. It impacts our ability to ‘show up’ every day– what attitude and expectations we bring into a space. Take note of how your student responds to stress, frustration, or disappointment, and encourage them to apply kindness, understanding, and curiosity to the principle of making mistakes.
