 National School Counseling Week!
This week is National School Counseling Week, and highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve academic success and planning for a career. We want to celebrate our great team of school counselors and the important (and often behind-the-scenes) work they do each and every day toward supporting the learning that happens here at LHS. As a simple way of saying thanks, would you consider taking a brief moment to share a positive word about one or more of our counselors and/or college and career center specialist? https://forms.gle/AbmbFTeyGBpBZMBn6
We will share these comments with counselors throughout the week next week as they continue preparing students to become lifelong learners and productive members in a global society with a focus on social emotional wellness, academic success, and college and career readiness.
Thank you in advance for taking a brief moment of your time to show your appreciation!
