How to Celebrate Your School Counselor
Here are a few ways to make your school counselor feel extra special this week!
Make a special book.
Each year my class loved making a special for our counselor. Just print the cover and a letter page for each student. Students will each write a little letter and draw a picture for the book and let your counselor know what makes them BEARY special.
Then, just put all of the letters together in a folder or binder to make a little book! Warning: Expect tears from the school counselor. He or she will absolutely love this personalized gift! Everything you need is included in, National School Counseling Week: Activities to Celebrate Your School Counselor.
This would also be an amazing thing for you to put together if you are a classroom mom too! Make this book extra special by attaching a bear!
