It's National School Counseling Week!!
School counselors support students in more ways than you may realize. Every day, they help students develop academic success strategies, manage emotions, and build strong interpersonal skills. Every student deserves a school counselor. This week, we proudly celebrate and thank our school counselors, Heather Watkins and Pam DeCaprio, for their dedication, care, and commitment to all students.
