ANNOUNCEMENTS

Today is a B Day.

Now here are Ms. Burton and Mr. Hicks: Good morning. This is Ms. Burton, Program Counselor and Mr. Hicks Director of Counseling, and today is the final day of National School Counseling Week. We enjoyed talking with you this week about “dreaming big.” Whether it’s your dreams for yourself or for our school, dreams are the fuel that keep us moving forward. – BURTONAuthor Carl Sandburg said, “Nothing happens unless first we dream.” Take a minute, and think about your dreams. Dreams don’t have to be about a career. Dreams can be about feelings or even helping someone else achieve their dreams. What’s one thing you can do today that moves you one step closer to a dream – any dream? Write it down or draw a picture of it. Look at it when you need encouragement. HICKSOur dream for you is that you feel successful here at TJ and that you learn all the skills you need to reach your goals in life. We are here for you every day. BURTONThank you for celebrating National School Counseling Week with us. Have a safe and fun weekend! HICKS
