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?
I
n 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. 
 

 Thoughts Worth Sharing:
Hold on to your dreams
Ask questions
Plan to succeed
Proceed with confidence
Invest in the right attitude
Never stop believing
Enjoy the detours
Save time for little things
Share a smile every day :-)
