April 1 Message from Mrs G
Hello everyone! Happy April Fool's Day....maybe this year is an extra good one to find a silly way to get an extra laugh out of someone else?! Some paper bugs inside of lampshades, upside down glasses of water that need to be dealt with, some plastic wrap on a faucet.... As we move through Week 3 of being home, I hope that you are finding, and creating, opportunities whenever you can to to laugh and smile. There's more than plenty of worry and stress right now for everyone so its important to make the 'good stuff' happen as much as possible. It can be hard to stay on the positive side of things, but it WILL make a positive difference in your house. Hang in there through the tough moments, consider the idea of 'fake it til you make it' and when all that seems nearly impossible then go with either giving or asking for a hug. I am available to connect with kids and families - give a call or email!

March 24 Message from Mrs G
Hi all! Just thought I'd share something with you as you're working on navigating this whole situation at home with your family.....NOT AN EASY TASK! Not sure about you all, but I've surely had my moments of 'THIS IS TOO MUCH'!!! Below you'll find a really great article/idea which helped my personal sanity, as well as helped my family have a moment of it as well! Take care everyone - please be in touch if I can help with anything.....from connecting with kids to adults connecting! I can connect by Zoom now....please tell your kiddos, I'm sure they'll be impressed since they know technology is pretty tough on me :-) Mrs G https://www.betsykcoaching.com/blog/Koepke-Quarantine-Rules

MARCH 16, 2020 MESSAGE FROM MRS. GRETZLOCK and COPING RESOURCES

ABOUT MRS. GRETZLOCK.....

Hello! My name is Paula Gretzlock. I am the School Counselor at Glenwood City Elementary School. This is my 4th year at GCE. Previous to working here, I was a High School Counselor in New Richmond. I have worked in education and human service systems for over 25 years.

I currently work in the building Tuesday through Thursday, but I do my best to respond to communications beyond those days. Please contact me at any time by phone (715-265-7869) or email (gretzpau@gcsd.k12.wi.us) and I will respond as soon as possible.

Providing a strengths-based comprehensive School Counseling Program with a focus on social emotional learning is my greatest priority at GCE. I believe it is vital to the healthy development of all children. Please see specific information on comprehensive programming through the link on the left side of this page.

I look forward to working with all students and families during their time at GCE. I hope to support their growth academically, personally and socially. Please let me know how I can work with, and support, your student and family!
