Lory's Place

This support groups take place at the school once a month for up to one hour during the school day. Lory’s Place will provide a group facilitator and the school social worker will also be able to participate in the group. Permission must be given by the parent or guardian for your child to participate. A parent letter is available to print below, but you can also contact your child’s school social worker to get copies.
Feel free to contact your child’s school social worker with any questions you may have. Coloma Community Schools and Lory’s Place are both very excited about this incredible opportunity for our students and families.
