This year's theme was “School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive.” Hosted by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), the weeklong celebration aimed to highlight the invaluable contributions of school counselors in guiding students toward academic success, career readiness, and personal growth.
Our school counselor, Mrs. Dawson, plays a pivotal role in student development, providing essential support in academic achievement, career exploration, and social-emotional learning. She serves as an advocate for students, helping to break down barriers to success and ensuring that every student has the resources they need to thrive.
From assisting with college and career planning to offering guidance on mental health and emotional well-being, school counselors serve as a crucial bridge between students, teachers, and families. Their work fosters a positive and supportive school environment, empowering students to reach their full potential.
Thank you Mrs. Dawson for all of your time and efforts with our Panthers!
The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Michigan Girls State program is an amazing week of learning, focused on responsible citizenship and leadership. It provides participants with a firsthand experience and insight into how their state government and judicial system works. The students are a diverse group with a shared desire to learn and lead. ALA MI Girls State “citizens” come together from small towns, big cities, and rural areas to learn how to run their own state, known as ALA MI Girls State! The citizen’s varied backgrounds set the stage for a week of spirited, experiential learning. The citizens connect with their peers from across the state, allowing a unique opportunity to spend time with others who share common interests and those who have different perspectives from their own experiences. They leave our program with a deeper understanding of government, a renewed sense of patriotism, and an appreciation for our veterans. Who can attend? This weeklong event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for female high school students who will complete their junior year in high school in the spring of 2025, and have at least one more semester remaining before graduation. When and where? The 84 th session of the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Michigan, Girls State program is scheduled for June 22 to June 28, 2025, on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University. A representative from the organization spoke with all Junior girls about the opportunity at school on Thursday. Ask your junior daughter about it!
