SV Celebrates National School Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), is celebrated from Feb. 2–6, 2015, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for their future. Please take a moment during National School Counseling Week to express your thanks to these dedicated professionals.
