As you know, our theme for this week is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Today, we’d like to talk about our dreams for our school. Our dream for our school is that every student feels supported and welcome. That we treat each other with kindness, embracing and celebrating our differences, listening and learning from each other. Let’s talk about how we can make our school a safe and nurturing space for all of us. You know where to find us! Have a wonderful Wednesday.
