My Project

I acquired a new role this school year besides being a school counselor. I am also our school's testing coordinator. With that being said, I am in charge of making sure that our students feel comfortable and their minds are in working order. I want to make sure that I have snacks for them during their break time so they do not worry about being hungry but focused on doing the best they possibly can for the tests. I also want to make sure that testing supplies such as pencils and pencil sharpener are available.
