On Wednesday, a letter went home in your child's green folder discussing the sudden death of a staff member's adult child who was a familiar face at Hayes. To assist you in speaking with your child about this sensitive topic, the Media Center offers a collection of books that staff and parents may check-out. Please see a member of the Media Staff to access this collection.
Please remember that you are always welcome (and strongly encouraged) to reach out to your child's grade level professional school counselor for additional assistance. Recommended books (reviewed by both media specialist and school counselor): For all ages: The Fall of Freddie the Leaf: A Story of Life for All Ages by Leo Buscaglia. Geranium Morning by E. Sandy Powell The Memory String by Eve Bunting When Someone Very Special Dies by Marge Heegaard I Miss You by Pat Thomas Sad Isn't Bad: A Good-Grief Guidebook for Kids Dealing with Loss by: Michaelene Mundy For older kids (grades 3-5) Tear Soup by Pat Schwiebert and Chuck DeKlyen Hummingbird by Kimberly Greene Angle Websites that you might find helpful: A Child in Grief Children's Grief Education Association National Association of School Psychologists American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psyciatry
