It’s National School Counseling Week! Our counselors, Ms. Rowland and Ms. Zinn, help students form healthy goals, mindsets, and behaviors. Through classroom lessons, group sessions, and individual counseling, students learn to develop effective collaboration and cooperation skills, practice perseverance, develop time management and study skills, and learn self-motivation and self-direction habits. We are so grateful for our wonderful school counselors!
