💙 National School Counseling Week 💙
This week, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible people who support the hearts and minds of our students every single day.
A huge thank you to our school counselor, Mr. Woodman, for the guidance, encouragement, and steady support he provides to our students. His commitment to helping students grow academically and plan their academic futures makes a lasting difference in our school community.
We also want to recognize our 31N Therapist, Mrs. Henderson, whose compassion and expertise help students navigate challenges and build healthy coping skills. Her work ensures that students feel seen, supported, and valued.
We are so fortunate to have both Mr. Woodman and Mrs. Henderson as part of our team. Thank you for the vital role you play in helping our students succeed! 💙👏
