 Banana
Splits Groups
What is “Banana Splits?”
“Banana Splits” is a peer support group for
students who are facing issues of separation or
divorce.
When is it?
“Banana Splits” will take place either before
school at 8:40 a.m. Students in
each grade level, whose families are separated or
divorced, will have the opportunity to participate
throughout the school year.
What do we do?
We try to help each other by talking and sharing
our feelings. If we don’t have much to talk about,
we play games and work on projects that build our
confidence and encourage skills such as
communication and teamwork. “Banana Splits”
encourages children to see that they are not
alone, explore how to help themselves feel better,
and increase communication at home.
Do many kids join?
In
every school building, there are “Banana Splits”
members from each class in Kindergarten through
sixth grade.
How do you join?
Permission slips will be sent home before the
group is scheduled to begin. Simply fill it out
and return it to school.
