Counseling Corner - Benefits of finishing the school year strong!
As we head into the final 9 days of the school year, we know that May can feel like the finish line is just around the corner—and it is! But it’s more important than ever to stay focused and finish strong. The habits and effort students put in now—like completing assignments, staying organized, and participating in class—don’t just help end this year on a high note; they build the foundation for a confident, successful start next school year. Parents, your encouragement and support during this final stretch make a huge difference. Let’s work together to help students close out the year with pride, knowing they gave it their best until the very end!
