National School Counselor Week
February 4-8th, was National School Counselor Week !! THANK you to our counselors for all they do to support students. "School Counselors: Providing Lessons for Life," will be celebrated from Feb. 4-8, 2019, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by ASCA, highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.”-ASCA. We know our counselors do so much for our students and our community. They are often the adult to whom students turn in times of high need, the adult who often keeps a student connected to and attending school. Our schools are dependent on our counselors-from scheduling to providing services for the social-emotional wellbeing ! So, please take a moment to appreciate our counselors!
