The first week of February is School Counseling Week! It's not school counselor's week, so although you might get some appreciation ~ IF YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY ~ typically it is a week for you to advocate for your program. Here are some ideas!
Teacher Gifts/Thank Yous: There is a lot of debate on this topic, but I think giving is fun! It never hurts to thank people, build bridges, and celebrate counseling!

| Popcorn! |

| Rolos! |
 |
| Sharpies! |
 |
| Animal Crackers! |
Student Workshops: We partnered with our local junior college to offer workshops on ApplyTexas and College 101. All sophomores completed their Apply Texas application for dual credit. We also presented a local scholarship workshop for seniors. Finally, we presented to all AP students regarding upcoming AP testing.

Parent Workshop: We offered a parent workshop for the FAFSA. All parents left with a completed FAFSA! This was in addition to our fall FAFSA workshops and what I called the "It's not too late! FAFSA workshop."

College Visits: We had multiple colleges visit classes during school counseling week. The Art Institute of Dallas visited Career and Technology Classes, Weatherford Junior College visited all senior English classes, and Texas Tech visited with interested students.

School counseling week was extremely fun! Can't wait for next year!
