This week is School Counselor Week and we have so much to celebrate!
School counselors play a vital role in helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. They support students as they navigate friendships, manage big feelings, build problem-solving skills, and develop confidence in themselves. Whether they are working one-on-one with students, leading small groups, collaborating with teachers, or supporting families, school counselors help create a safe, caring, and inclusive school environment where every student feels seen and supported.
During School Counselor Week 2026, we celebrate our amazing School Counselor here at FMI! Mrs. Shields has shown dedication, compassion, and support for our students every single day. Her work often happens quietly behind the scenes, but its effects are felt every day in our classrooms and hallways. We are grateful for her commitment to helping students succeed, advocating for their needs, and reminding them that they matter. Our school is a stronger, kinder place because of Mrs. Shields!! 💙
