I really do plan to get to the mountains before the summer is over, but the beach keeps calling me.🤣 #summer #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is knowing that summer doesn’t last long. (Big Sigh) We have a few weeks left, but I tend to go in a week before everyone else to plan. I’m trying to use up the rest of my summer at my favorite place. #scchat #summer

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes school counseling is attending PD’s like #ASCA. I’m gonna miss it this year as I’ve chosen the beach life, but please be sure to share highlights and moments.❤️ I’m sure you all will have a great time. #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is prepping your office for when students return. I was expecting to do some dusting, reorganizing, and the like.. I was NOT expecting to call in reinforcements to handle outside life on the inside of my office!🤣❤️ #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is putting your office back together. The infamous “read books and be kind” sign has found a wonderful spot in my office and is my new favorite!❤️ I still have a bit of organizing to do, but I’m almost done. #scchat #education

Summer Counselor Conference while opening up my brand new happy planner and pens.❤️❤️❤️😊 #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is enjoying the Summer Counselor Conference while watching my kiddos soccer tournaments. #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is getting out and hitting the “reset” button before the start of a new school year. We finally made it to Sequoia National Park to take in the gentle giants. What a sight to see. ❤️ #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is connecting with families! Two of my back to school “to do’s” is sending out new student postcards and emailing my monthly newsletter to families. Vista print and Canva do the heavy lifting in helping me achieve this goal. ❤️ #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is holding onto summer. Meetings start this week for faculty so I’m here at the beach getting my mindset ready for hopefully another great school year.❤️ #scchat

Here’s to year 21 as an educator and year 8 as a school counselor!!!❤️🙌🏾🎉 #scchat

Watched “ Divorced in the Black” and no plot twist???? Come on Tyler!!!!🤣🙃🙃

Sometimes school counseling is using the strategies and tools that you share with your students, for yourself. Week two was quite busy with “all the things” and I took a minute to take a breather. These calm strips are the truth.❤️ #scchat

Sometimes school counseling is getting sick! Yup, week three and I’m down for the count. I didn’t have that written in my plan book! Thank God for PTO; I’ll just pivot into classroom lessons once I get better.❤️ #scchat #education

❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes school counseling is teaching classroom lessons. I have some make up lessons ahead of me as I was out all last week. That’s okay though; many students will hear about the role of school counselor and how we’re here to help.❤️ #scchat

My heart is just breaking for these students and families! This has to stop.💔💔🙏🏾🙏🏾 #scchat #education

This is how I’m going into my Friday! ❤️ #scchat
