This week is National School Counselor Week: February 6-10, 2023! We want to publicly acknowledge and say THANK YOU to our counselors (and social workers) for the work they do EVERY DAY at LCWM! There's not a day that goes by where students aren't in their offices talking about hard stuff in life, future planning, or just having normal relationship building conversations. Our counselors have a tremendous impact in helping our students achieve school success, process through life's moments, and plan for a career.
THANK YOU LCWM school counselors for all you do!!
