Happy National School Counseling Week! 🌟 This week, we celebrate our incredible school counselors who help students thrive - academically, emotionally, and beyond! From setting goals and building confidence to navigating challenges and planning for the future, our counselors are always there to support and uplift our students. Let’s take a moment to thank our school counselors for all they do to make our schools a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place!
Do you know a staff or student who deserves to be recognized? Nominate them for the B.E.S.T. Award at brookings.k12.sd.us/best. The award is handed out at every regular school board meeting from the Brookings School District Board of Education.
The powerful impact of Girls on the Run is permanent. By instilling a love of movement, life skills, and unbreakable confidence now, Girls on the Run sets girls on a path toward lifelong healthy habits, empowerment, and inclusion. After each season, participants become equipped with essential tools to navigate life’s challenges with empathy, grace, and courage. From there, they become changemakers who lead with compassion, kindness, and resilience. Sign your girl up for our Spring season at Brookings Dakota Prairie Elementary that will activate her potential now and in the future.
