Happy National School Counseling Week!
This week, we celebrate the incredible work that school counselors do to support students. School counselors are more than just a resource for academic guidance—they play a crucial role in fostering social development and emotional literacy. At EPJ, we’re proud to incorporate the "Move This World" social and emotional learning curriculum, which helps students develop essential skills like self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. To learn more or access resources on the family site, reach out to danielle.schonebaum@k12.sd.us.
