National School Counseling Week
|
|
It's National School Counseling Week! This week is set aside to highlight the unique contribution of school counselors and the tremendous impact they can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
At Wilson, our school counselors are actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents; working in partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world; focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, post secondary, and social/emotional development; and working with teachers and other educators to provide an educational system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic, and optimistic aspirations for themselves.
For all of their contributions to the lives of our students, we’d like to honor and acknowledge our fantastic team of school counselors!
