Our first counselor to celebrate during National School Counselors Week is Ms. Weber from Village Meadows. Let's meet Ms. Weber! "I am the school counselor and PBIS Tier II Team Leader at Village Meadows Elementary school. I love being a school counselor because of the relationships I get to build with my students! I get to be there for support during tough times and to cheer-on and celebrate our students’ successes every year they’re with us. My favorite part of being a counselor is helping students who drop-in for support with friendship skills and conflict resolution- it’s so rewarding to help students navigate their day-to-day lives and learn some new skills to take out into the real world!" Thank you Ms. Weber for #HelpingStudentsDreamBig
