The Sunshine Club was recently able to learn about another one of our community workers. They visited our elementary guidance office and learned that Mrs. Saffell loves to help kids be the best "Me" they can be, her door is always open, and she is always available to talk if students have big problems. Thanks, Mrs. Saffell!
National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Thank you for everything that you do to help our students succeed, Mrs. Saffell and Mrs. Wagenhauser!
