Counselor Corner
The next 2 weeks (Nov 12-21) will be the last of my guidance lessons until we come back from break in January. Sometime in December I will be sending calendar invites for the next set of lessons. I am going to try to keep the same days and times. If you would prefer another day or time, let me know now and I will try to make it work.
