What is the STAR Social Club?

It is the old Character Education class.

• Goal: The STAR Social Club will provide engaging lessons connected to Edna Elementary focus themes. It will focus on the whole student providing them with strategies to overcome obstacles, physical and emotional. Provide them with communication skills and a safe, welcoming environment. STAR Social Club members will have a voice in planning of By-Laws and activities.
• Objective: Students will develop skills to help them cope with anger, frustration, emotional hurt, and fear. Recognize students for doing their best to follow the Club By-Laws and reward them with tangible awards. Give students an outlet to release anxiety and seek their potential.
