National School Counseling Week is February 5-9, 2018 and Maine’s School Counselors are invited to attend a recognition on February 8th in the Hall of Flags from 1:00-4:00pm. At 1:30, words of recognition will be shared by Sarah Ricker, Maine DOE’s Student Assistance Coordinator, and Cameron Reny, President of the Maine School Counseling Association. Then, Maine’s 2018 School Counselor of Year, Angela Avery from Biddeford Middle School, will speak to the gathering of school counselors and those who support the work of school counselors. Preceding these presentations, school counselors and guests are welcome to enjoy refreshments and to visit with organizations who work closely with school counselors to bring comprehensive school counseling programming to their schools.
