As we finish out the National School Counseling Week, we would like to say "Thank You" to all of Morgan County School Counselors. Every student deserves a school counselor to help with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions and applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options. School counselors are #HelpingStudentsDreamBig.
National School Counseling Week Spotlight goes to Tina Stickley at Paw Paw Schools. Thank you for your continued support to students. School counselors help students in more ways than you may know. Every day, school counselors make a difference for students. This week we celebrate them as a part of National School Counseling Week 2023.
National School Counseling Week 2023 (Feb. 6-10), sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Take a moment to thank our school counselors.
