Counselor Appreciation

You can’t beat a person who never gives up!- Babe Ruth

Everyone knows that school counselors are an integral part of a school community. Here are some fun, meaningful ways you can celebrate them for National School Counselors Week.

Positivity Journal:

Counselors always ensure others are taken care of, but are we taking care of them? This journal would be a great gift for your counselor. You could even add some fun pens!

Have Students Show their Appreciation:

Since students are the main focus of a school counselor’s job, have students make cards or posters to show what the counselor means to them. This is an easy way to show gratitude, and the kids will love it too!

Flowers:

Have flowers delivered to school. This would be a nice surprise and a beautiful way to show appreciation. Most local florists will deliver, or you can have flowers delivered from Amazon right to your school!  

Self-Care Basket:

School counselors promote self-care and mental health to others, so help them take care of themselves! You can make a self care basket that includes things like bath bombs, lotions, tea, or any of their favorite things. You could also ask each grade level or department to contribute one thing to the basket.

Superhero Lunch:

School counselors are often seen as the superheroes of the school.  Order lunch from their favorite local spot, and let kids serve them a superhero lunch.  The counselor could wear a fun cape, and students could decorate the lunch table and be the servers. This is sure to be a memorable experience for everyone!

Regardless of how you decide to honor your school counselors, just make sure you honor and acknowledge all that they do for your students, your staff, and the culture of your school!
