Andes Central Middle and High School Counselor, Synnora Wilbur, held an Organizational Boot Camp starting Tuesday, September 24th that will be coming to an end on October 15th. The workshop was open to 6th through 12th grade students. The curriculum was set up so that the students would meet two times a week for four weeks for 35 minutes per session. This is the first time that this type of small group workshop was held at Andes Central. Synnora decided to make the boot camp one of her small group events this school year. The whole idea behind the “boot camp” came about as she was hearing from her fellow Andes Central staff members that they were wishing that their students were more organized. In addition to the teachers wanting this, there were several students that had expressed interest in learning about how to get better organized.
