GPISD Counseling Services News


Lee’s Kindness Crew was honored with a celebration for exhibiting kindness, leadership and campus assistance during Career Day. Students were given kindness bags filled with goodies. 


YWLA counselors and social worker kicked off a 28-day kindness challenge.  Students were asked to enter the challenge and perform an act of kindness every day during the month of February for a chance to enter a raffle and win a prize.  These two young ladies were the first to accept the challenge.  #BeKindGPISD


SGPHS Counseling Services finishing off a successful first week of registration with our 9th graders. Students used iPads to select their courses in Career Cruising before meeting with their counselors. 

 Counselor Shannon Regalzi at Austin ESA hosted a wonderful career day. Students asked a lot of great questions with great listening ears. Professionals within the community came out and shared their expertise.


Lee’s Kindness Crew stepped up to label snacks for our new students. We want all students to feel welcomed and part of our FamiLEE.  
The Crew also seized the moment to advocate for the campus counselors by assisting with activities for National School Counseling Week. 

This week at Powell the school counselor, Mrs. Meeks, encouraged everyone to participate in The Great Kindness Challenge.  Everyone received a Kindness Challenge Checklist and a Kindness Pledge.  Dress-up days, including “Kindness Ties Us Together” and “Kindness Makes Our Hearts Glow,” were also encouraged.  For the final day of The Great Kindness Challenge, and to celebrate the 100th day of school, staff and students were reminded that “Kindness Never Gets Old.”  Throughout the week, students were recognized in the morning announcements for performing kind acts.  We also collected donations for LifeLine Shelter with a goal of 100 items per grade level.  Mrs. Meeks is Palomino Proud of the kindness and generosity the students and staff show daily, and she appreciates everyone putting a bit more emphasis on kindness this week.
