Counselor Minute

There are very few words left that haven’t been said about the strangeness of these times and how the start of school this year will be different than any other. Just know that you are so vitally important and your work is going to help students and staff way beyond the short time that you will have them in your presence. Take care of them, take care of you.

Stellar Counselor

This month’s Stellar Counselor comes to us from Woodway Elementary in Midway ISD. Mrs. Cara Fisher. Mrs. Fisher was nominated by Woodway Elementary Assistant Principal, Lora Sims, who shares:

 “I have worked with Cara for the past three years and have always been in awe of her patience, support and love for our students. She takes her time to listen when needed rather than just speak. She hears and sees them without judgment letting them know that they can trust and come to her when in need. Cara has closed her door and spent hours helping students who are emotionally fragile and struggling- some days going without lunch just to reassure a student that she is there for them. She offers the same support, love, and positivity for the staff or anyone who crosses her path.  She is a Marigold for all those around her!!”

Thank you, Cara, for being an ESC Region 12 Stellar Counselor for August-September 2020!
