This week is National School Counselor Appreciation week! We would like to recognize our phenomenal School Counselor, Mrs Givens. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that Mrs. Givens does that often goes unthanked. She plays an integral role in providing for the needs of our students and staff, and has also implemented the school's first therapy dog program! Mrs. Givens goes above and beyond for this school and this community. We are incredibly proud to have the best Counselor right here at SKS! If you happen to see her, take some time to let her know how much she is appreciated!
