Happy National School Counseling Week! School Counselors Amplify Student Success.
It takes a special kind of heart to do the work our School Counselors do every single day. In a district as vibrant and diverse as Newburgh, our School Counselors serve as the steady anchors for our students, providing a safe harbor amidst the often turbulent waters of growing up. Whether these professionals are helping a senior navigate the complexities of college applications, sitting on the floor to help an elementary student process big emotions, or offering a quiet word of encouragement in the hallway, your impact is immeasurable. They don’t just manage schedules; they nurture dreams, heal spirits, and build the confidence our scholars need to believe in their own potential. Please know that your patience, your empathy, and your tireless advocacy do not go unnoticed.
The weight our School Counselors carry is heavy, yet they show up with a resilience and grace that inspires the entire Goldbacks community. These committed professionals are often the unsung heroes working behind the scenes to ensure that no child falls through the cracks, and for that, they have our deepest respect and gratitude. They are the bridge between home and school, the voice for the vulnerable, and the heartbeat of our educational family. Please join me in thanking our School Counselors for choosing Newburgh, for staying in the trenches, and for loving our students through every challenge and triumph.
To our dedicated School Counselors: You are more than appreciated—you are essential, and the legacy of your kindness will live on in the lives of the students you’ve helped shape for years to come.
