White County Schools

We are pleased to offer the Fuel Backpack program to students in White County. Fuel is a weekend backpack program that provides students with a variety of non-perishable food items such as fruit cups, granola bars, cereal, canned meals, and juice during the weekend.

The Fuel program is voluntary and is offered at no cost to participants. Children in the program will receive a variety of items in their backpack on Friday afternoons. The privacy of students participating in the program will be protected. Please complete this permission form and return it to your child’s school.

Your child has the opportunity to participate in B.E.S.T. (Be Each Others’ Support Team) groups this semester during Encore time at school. B.E.S.T. group is a small group peer support program.

During life we will all face challenges. Some challenges are big and some challenges are small. Part of growing up is learning to handle challenges and change in a helpful way! BEST groups is a place where students will gain some helpful tools for dealing with day to day challenges, while helping fellow classmates as well. There are no more than 7 students per group. The groups meet once per week for 10 weeks. Each week students will participate in games and art activities that will help to build life coping skills and strengthen friendships.

The students will be gaining confidence in:

Handling Anger & Frustration  |  Overcoming Worry  |  Making Good Choices  |  Keeping your Eyes on the Prize (Goals)  
Understanding and Overcoming Challenges (Hurdles)  |  Identifying your Strengths & Overcoming Weaknesses

If you would allow your child to be a part of the B.E.S.T. program, please contact the Family Resource Director or your child's school.
