This week we celebrate our school counselors for National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). I would like to personally thank our Westwood Regional School Counselors. Each counselor works to provide their students with the utmost attention and concern. They are dedicated, caring, professional, and advocate for their students each and every day.
