School counselors don’t just support student success — they amplify it. By advocating for students, removing barriers, building resilience, and nurturing strong relationships, they help every student thrive.
Join us in showing appreciation for the vital role they play in our schools and community. If you see a school counselor this week, take a moment to say thank you for the difference they make every single day!
