Good morning. This week, we are celebrating National School Counseling Week. As you know, our theme for this week is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” Today, I’d like to talk about our dreams for our school.
Our dream for our school is that every student feels supported and welcome. That we treat each other with kindness, embracing and celebrating our differences, listening and learning from each other. Author Audre Lorde said, “Tomorrow belongs to those of us who conceive of it as belonging to everyone, who lend the best of ourselves to it, and with joy.” How can you help us meet our goals for our school? Can you reach out to someone today to ensure they feel like they are part of our school community? Do you feel like you belong? Let’s talk about how we can make our school a safe and nurturing space for all of us. You know where to find us. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good morning. This is your DVC counseling team, and this week, we are celebrating National School Counseling Week. Yesterday, we talked about how
our job is to help you be successful and work toward your dreams. But did you know that we’ve achieved one of my dreams just by being your school counselor? It’s true. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn said, “Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get
there.”  Our goal was to become a school counselor so we could support students like you. And we couldn’t be happier to be here. Every day is different, but we can tell you that we get tremendous joy in seeing you succeed. Your dreams are our dreams. Thanks for helping make our dreams
come true! Have a great Tuesday!

Your DVC counselors!
