School Counselors Celebrate During National School Counseling Week, Feb. 6–10, 2023
National School Counseling Week 2023, “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from Feb. 6–10, 2023, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
We would like to recognize and thank Mrs. Heinz and Mr. Woodman for their continued work for and with our students. They make Fulton Schools a better place!
