Whether they are including a classmate, offering a helping hand, using kind words, or simply sharing a smile — these students lead by example. Kindness is powerful, and they prove that small actions can make a BIG difference!
We are beyond proud of each of you for shining your light and spreading positivity throughout our pack. Keep leading with kindness! 💙🖤

This week, we recognize and thank our school counselors for the critical role they play in supporting students’ academic growth, social-emotional well-being, and future planning. Counselors are often the first to notice when a student is struggling—and the steady presence that helps them navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
From individual student support and crisis response to academic advising and career guidance, your work matters more than most people realize—and it truly changes lives.
If you see a school counselor today, take a moment to thank them.
Thank you to our school counselors for your compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to students. Our schools are stronger because of you.

Join us for our January PTO meeting to be held on 1/15/26 at 4:30!
