National School Counseling Week
"School Counselors: Providing Lessons for Life," will be celebrated from February 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 the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success. This special week provides recognition of counselors for being actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; and for focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ social/personal, educational and career development. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program.
COUNSELORS, WE CELEBRATE YOU! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
