Today is the first day of National School Counseling Week. The theme of this year’s week is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Did you know that your school counselor’s number one goal is to help you succeed? Whatever you need to be successful at school – whether that’s learning how to stay motivated to complete your work, having positive relationships with your fellow students, advocating for yourself, or overcoming barriers – Mrs. Schlemmer & Mrs. Straw are here for you! Sometimes achieving your dreams IS hard, but they’re here to help you not give up. Have a great Monday!
