National School Counseling Week is just around the corner. That first week of February, last year, was brutal. We ended up with almost a week full of snow days! I have higher hopes this winter, and have used our current snow days to get some plans together. February 2nd is right around the corner.
ASCA puts out a press release every year and I tweak and personalize this article for our district newsletter. It is a good way to advocate for our profession to the community.
I also make my own posters and school service announcements using the ASCA announcements put out each year.
This year, to get the kids participating, I am doing an essay contest. Here is the link to the announcement https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f8VLeC2cpcOK8JDxbQFnJyYIUPvvB67pYz1iLwLO-fI/pub
What’s a celebration without food? So this year’s theme is Building a Magical Future. I plan on doing a staff breakfast (breakfast casserole and muffins, OJ coffee) and linking it to the theme by stressing how things come together to build something new and better (casserole) and how as a staff each of us brings something to the “table” for our students as they build their future.
