National School Counseling Week is Feb. 7-11, 2022, to focus attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. NSCW highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

School counselors often collaborate with other school staff, such as our school psychologist, school social worker, and school nurse. We all work together to serve students' needs as they navigate school and life. We are so much stronger together! #NSCW2022 🐶🐾🐾

Did you know that BMCS school counselors work closely with our principal and assistant principals? Although we have different tasks during the day, we have a common goal to help students succeed! We collaborate and listen to each other's ideas to end up with the best solutions.🐶

HAPPY KINDNESS WEEK! Our BCMS counselors encourage our Bulldogs to do random acts of kindness today and every day! 🐾
