💜 Happy Counselor Appreciation Week! 💜 This week, we proudly celebrate the incredible counselors at Riverbend Middle School who support our students every single day. From helping students navigate academics and friendships to offering encouragement, guidance, and a listening ear, our counselors make a lasting impact on our school community. They advocate for students, partner with families and staff, and work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every child feels supported, valued, and ready to succeed. Riverbend is a better place because of their compassion, dedication, and heart for kids. Please join us in thanking Mrs. Hohe and Mrs. Vitale for all they do—this week and every week! 💜
