The last few weeks we have been deep into careers. All age groups have been tediously learning about the six career paths, roles, responsibilities.......the list goes on and on! There are so many topics to cover between Kindergarten and 8th grade, how does one possibly cover them all?? Well, I can't, so this year I have asked for some help. I decided to pilot a Community Partnership program in my school. Starting in the fall, I matched each grade Kindergarten through fifth grade with a career path. Then I found a business partner in the community that would be willing to donate their time to visit each class at least four times a year. With February now almost a distant memory, things of course did not get off the ground as quickly as I would have liked. Last semester ended up being a planning semester for the program, and this semester we have been able to have each community partner schedule two meetings between January and the end of the school year. Want to know more about the Community Partnership Program?? Stay tuned to learn more!

Good Morning! I am so happy to finally launch my blog! This has been a personal goal of mine for a few years, and I am excited to finally achieve this. I figured an ice/snow day here in Missouri would be the best time to go for it! Bear with me as this is a new thing for my busy life. I cannot wait to share so many resources I use in my counseling office, as well as in my personal life to aid in this crazy little world :). Stay tuned!
