School Counseling Week--Day 5
This has been so much fun making the daily videos for all of you to watch. I hope you have enjoyed them. Today I will be gathering up the change that was brought in from our Penny-a-thon. It will be going to M.A.D.D. in honor of my counselor friend, Barbara Gruener, who was a victim of a drunk driving accident in January. She has shared so many great ideas with others and our school has definitely benefited from her creativity and willingness to share. So....this is our way of saying, "Thanks Barbara!" Her accident gave me the opportunity to talk to my students about choices and how the choices we make affect other people as well as ourselves. So here is a shout out to Barbara: "Hang in there! Your awesome ability to share has a gigantic ripple effect and we have benefitted!"
Hope you all have a great day!

I.am.speechless.....and crying now! WoW ... that is the kindest thing ever! I am SO doing your extra-guidance idea next year. And to give the donation to MADD just touches my heart in ways that I'm finding hard to process at the moment. Thank you, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAwww!! Laurel, this is the most heartwarming thing I've seen in a while. What brilliant ideas, both the Penny-a-Thon AND to offer the extra guidance lesson as a prize. That's win-win-win-win in my book....win for the good cause, win for the students, win for the teacher of the winning class and best of all, WIN for the counselor! As Barbara so often acknowledges, we have the BEST job EVER! Barbara just pointed me in the direction of your blog this week and I'm so glad she did. (I'm a school counselor in Virginia...but I don't have a counseling blog.) Thank you for sharing your awesomeness!
