“And whereas, school counselors work with teachers and other educators to help students explore their potential and set realistic goals for themselves; and whereas, school counselors seek to identify and utilize community resources that can enhance and complement comprehensive school counseling programs and help students become productive members of society; and whereas, comprehensive developmental school counseling programs are considered an integral part of the educational process that enables all students to achieve success in school.

 

“Now, therefore be it resolved, by the Terrebonne Parish Council, on behalf of the Parish President and the entire Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government, that the week of February 5-9, 2024 be hereby proclaimed as National School Counseling Week, and that all school counselors be recognized for their efforts toward helping students grow and achieve their potential.”
