Have you thanked a school counselor lately? 🧡
This week is School Counselor Appreciation Week, and we want to give a huge shout-out to our very own Mrs. Amanda Shouse. She goes above and beyond every single day to meet the needs of our students—always kind, always patient, always open, and always ready to listen. Mrs. Shouse is a steady support, a trusted advocate, and a caring presence for our students and staff alike. Our school is a better place because of her heart, dedication, and commitment to student well-being.
Thank you, Mrs. Shouse, for everything you do! 🙏✨

🌟 Big Congratulations to Our 8th Grade Poets! 🌟
Mrs. Hiseley’s 8th grade ELA students entered a nationwide poetry contest at the beginning of the school year, and several students advanced to the next level of competition! 📝✨ Their poems were selected for inclusion in a nationally published poetry collection—an incredible honor.
Seeing their own names and poems in print is a huge achievement, and we couldn’t be more proud of their hard work, creativity, and talent! 📖👏
