My name is Autumn Lee. I am a therapist from Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare(GLMHC) at the Spanaway Clinic. GLMHC provides mental health services through our clinics and in schools in the community, including GKHS. During the school year, I am at the school a couple days out of the week. Appointments occur during the school day. If you are interested in services, please call our Access Center at (253)581-7020 to schedule an intake assessment. During the school year, the school counselors and Mrs. Kimball are also able to complete referrals with signed consent from the student. During this time of staying at home, we are still offering services over the phone and conducting intake assessments over the phone.

Verto Education is excited to announce a Virtual College Fair on April 17th from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET. You are invited to attend. Verto offers the only first-year abroad experience that partners with some of the nation’s top colleges and universities to guarantee admission and to ensure students are on track to graduate in four years.

Verto is expecting to have 40 colleges and universities attending the virtual fair, from William & Mary, Temple, University of Tennessee, University Of Oregon, and Case Western and Butler to Rhodes, Goucher, Lewis & Clark, and many many more!

Come check out some colleges you are familiar with, and learn about some new ones. We ask you to come with an open mind and willingness to learn - as there may be colleges that you would otherwise not come in contact with at this event, but may end up being that perfect next step!
