As Adams' school counselor one of the key ways that I can reach students is in small a group setting.  Being a part of a small group enables students to express themselves more openly, without having to worry about how his or her large peer group will view them.

Also, participating in small groups can provide a safe place for students to learn skills. Once these skills have been introduced, a group experience provides students an opportunity to apply those skills in a safe environment.

Students must have parent permission to participate in a small group here at Adams.  I send every parent a letter describing what the group process is all about, with a permission slip enclosed.  Students must return the permission form before they can continue participating in a small group with me.

Below you will find a list of several of the small groups that I may run here at Adams.  Talk to your child(ren) to find out what they know about Mr. Gibbons' groups.
