We don’t ask each other this as honestly and as often as we should. Checking in on our loved ones, friends, and coworkers is an important step in changing to a kinder and more tolerant society. So, I’ll ask you: How are you, really?

During the pandemic, I realized the crucial significance of students' mental health, prompting me to embark on a two-year (okay, maybe three) journey to become a school counselor. I'm grateful for all the supportive individuals who have always made me feel loved. Now it’s my turn

Melody Isabela. Ed.D. Congratulations my dear friend 💚🎉 Thanks for caring and making a difference! Our First Ave Spartans Spartans and staff are so blessed to have you at FA!
