Feb 2- 6, we celebrated National School Counseling Week. Counselors support teachers by maintaining the heavy weight of mental health and appropriate academic planning to set students up for success. Sometimes no matter how much a professional counsels and plans with students, students can require intense efforts to reach success. Thank you counselors for unselfishly supporting our Freedom Patriots.
