Hello Falcon Families!
WFMS Counselors are here to support each student and their families as we move through the 2023-2024 school year. As a counseling team, we implement a comprehensive school counseling program which consists of: Guidance Curriculum, Responsive Services, Individual Planning and System Support.
We are prepared to work with each student in meeting their educational, career, and personal goals. In addition, we are here to support the social and emotional needs of our students.
7 Mindset: We Are Connected
The We Are Connected Mindset teaches us that everyone who comes into our lives can help us to achieve and live our dreams. Working with, for, and through others is crucial to realizing our dreams. When you understand this and constantly seek the positives from relationships with others, your performance in every area of your life improves. In the lessons for this mindset, we help students explore synergies with others, embrace diversity, and relish the competition that will allow them to maximize their potential by working with and through others.
Make some memories with the people you love. They will remember the cards, songs, cookies, games, movies, hot cocoa, and Christmas lights! Below are some fun activities for memory making!

GRIEF & THE HOLIDAYS- SUPPORT FOR ADULTS
Holidays mark the passage of time in our lives. But since holidays are for being with those we love the most, how on earth can anyone be expected to cope with them when a loved one has died? For many people, this is the hardest part of grieving, when we miss our loved ones even more than usual. Follow this LINK for ways to incorporate your loved one into the holidays.
