Feb 3-7 is National School Counseling Week. This is not about celebrating us, the School Counselors, but rather bringing awareness to and promoting the School Counseling profession! I am thankful to get to do this job I love and support students every day! @VIDASHARKS #weareVIDA

Still thinking about the energy the high schools brought to @VIDASHARKS yesterday during their road show! Thank you @MissionVistaHS @RanchoBuenaHS & @VHSPanthers for kicking off our 8th graders' high school season and doing it right!

This student used empathy gathering, along with the skills she learned in @ErinBland6 Jewelry Design Lab, to design earrings created just for me! The creativity and care our students exhibit on a daily basis blows me away! @VIDASHARKS #WeAreVIDA

[mssitesvida @mssitesvida]

@VIDASHARKS students know I love earrings! This student used empathy gathering to figure out an earring design that would bring me joy. And then she made them herself and gave them to me! Love our students and their creativity and proud to be a part of this Ohana! #WeAreVIDA

Did I forget to put earrings on this morning? Yes! Did it matter? No because @ErinBland6 made these jawesome Shredder the Shark earrings just for me using shrink art! Just one of the many tools students and staffulty use to create at VIDA! @VIDASHARKS #weareVIDA
