NATIONAL STUDENT COUNSELOR WEEK
|
Mary Cory, our middle school counselor, goes above and beyond in service of our students every day. While we are eternally grateful for her presence here at Lewis F. Mayer, we are poised to recognize the incredible impact she has on our students and staff as the nation celebrates National School Counselor Week February 4-8th.
Each day the offices will share moments of celebration for the counseling team via Twitter (using #NSCW19). Students will show their support by writing reflective messages to be shared around the school. Mrs Cory will share words of wisdom and encouragement each morning during announcements to encourage students to utilize the wide variety of services the counseling office provides.
Please join us in appreciation of Mary Cory, and the rest of the Fairview Park City Schools counseling team.
