WME Family and Friends,
Yay! It's School Counselor Week! As school counselor at Williams Magnet Elementary, I'm excited that I get to spend time learning with and from all of our scholars. We truly have the best and the brightest. I'm honored that I get to assist scholars academically, behaviorally, and with social emotional learning. PTA began this week with a card signed by each scholar. Thanks to the scholars/families who've gone far and beyond to make me feel extra, extra special this week. Be sure to show appreciate to a school counselor this week.
