All communication is information! 🧐

[RJK Guidance @GuidanceRjk]

“We are all the same” is often a sentiment of good intention. But we are not the same, our stories, experiences and consequently, our mindsets vary a great deal. Recognizing other’s stories and making space to validate every one of them is a the work of a school counselor.

A very Happy Mother’s Day to our first teachers upon entering this world. Their lessons have the longest lasting and most profound impacts.

[RJK Guidance @GuidanceRjk]

Even remotely, Fridays are celebratory! We accomplished another weeks worth of work! We did it 😁

[RJK Guidance @GuidanceRjk]

Has anyone else spent some time reprioritizing goals lately?

[Sara Kozachuk 💙🤍💙 @SaraKozachuk]

I appreciate all that you’re doing for our kiddos @MiddleRjk @WhyMontiRocks

And tacos. Let’s teach our students the facts about Cinco de Mayo so we can evolve from a place of understanding. To avoid cultural appropriation, there must be room for Mexican culture to assign significance rather than American culture doing so.

[RJK Guidance @GuidanceRjk]

Let us not forget the real reason Mexico celebrates May 5, it is not their Independence Day. Rather, it is when a small group of outnumbered soldiers were victorious against impending invasion of French troops. Cultural appropriation tends to make this day about fake mustaches

Hey Colleagues - thanks for all yuou do! Here's a short shout out to teachers around the world: #TeacherAppreciationWeek @SolutionTree @STreeJeffJones .

[RJK MIDDLE SCHOOL @MiddleRjk]

A big thank you to all the teachers at RJK who are doing amazing things despite these challenges we face daily! https://t.co/kdSUVS1jlY

[RJK Guidance @GuidanceRjk]

Not a huge fan of change but I am working on embracing it for the sake of harnessing optimism and never giving up. I’d rather grow to embrace change than be blind to the stuck-ness #burnbrightnotout

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

If a teacher is absent we call a sub.
If the principal is absent no one cares.
If the secretary is absent we need to shut down the school!

Happy #administrativeprofessionalsday! Thanks for being difference makers every day!
