This week is National School Counseling Week. CBSD would like to say thank you to our School Counselors for helping our students succeed! They assist our students with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions and applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options. 

This year the second grade classes at Park Elementary School made a difference on the 100th day of school. They collected 464 pet items to donate to 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue. Their goal was to collect 100 items by the 100th day of school. These little heroes collected so much more! Great job second graders!
