6 years ago this team or our roles as SPED Counselors didn’t exist @ RISD. We are grateful for leadership who advocate for mental & emotional wellness for students & staff, especially as the world faced many new challenges. We stand #StoneSolid in #RISDpoweroflove! TY @3jstone

@IamBranum I can’t say enough about the awesome women of the RISD SPED Counseling team that feel more like family than just colleagues. I don’t know how I would have made it through the last 18mo without them! They are truly #RISDGreatness

[Rayna Patterson @RaynaLPC]

RISD SPED Counselors were out in full force today spreading the #RISDPowerOfLove & supporting our campuses/students as many returned to F2F learning for the first time in 17 months! We had a wonderful #RISDFirstDay! #RISDGreatness!

Professional Learning + Pajamas + Puppies = #risdgreatness!! Axel & I learned in our self-assessments with @Catlin_Tucker & @PLinRISD that we’re positively incentivized by t-shirts & treats! #ultimatetshirtchallenge #GROWRISD21

[Rayna Patterson @RaynaLPC]

Summer may be in session but learning never stops! Starting the morning with inspirational conversation with @MichaelBonner_ & @PLinRISD ...lots of great energy already AND I appreciate the subtle approval to sparkle up the morning cup of orange juice! #GROWRISD21

I can’t love this enough!! Our students are so lucky to have teachers like Ms. Vardell & Mr. Ramey to show them education extends much further than TEKS, textbooks, tablets! ❤️ #risdgreatness

[Laura Vardell Price @MsVardell]

Today our PASS students got to make squirrel feeders 😂 and they had an absolute BLAST! Idea brought to you by the one and only, Mr. Ramey. @BSE_Bobcats1 @SSSRISD @PrincipalDawes @D_Wilson405 @billgattus

My SPED Counselor team is one that works behind the scenes, privately advocating for students in ways most don’t see. I didn’t expect anything about this week to be about me but my students showed up w/ praise in the best ways! Special note+special student= full❤️ #RISDGreatness

[Rayna Patterson @RaynaLPC]

I love seeing our young women from @DoverElementary shinning bright and even getting recognition from @DeborahNBC5! Dover Elementary is a great example of #RISDGreatness!

[Rayna Patterson @RaynaLPC]

@RichardsonISD may have been closed today but that didn’t stop our awesome #SPEDCounseling team from taking the opportunity to participate in the #ASOT2021 & learn ways to better serve our students! We even took 2 of the 3 leadership spots for engagement!#risdgreatness @3jstone

I know it was a busy Friday when I only had time to snap a single selfie showing my support to the many individuals impacted by breast cancer & helping #RISDPinkOut for Breast Cancer Awareness month! 💗🎗💗 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #risdwevegotthis

[Rayna Patterson @RaynaLPC]

After a very fast and furious first 9 weeks of school, it was nice to have a few minutes of self-care with a little art therapy during our team meeting! #risdwevegotthis #SPEDCounselor
