Grace Stern has been working with Mrs.Pretzer this year for the work-based learning portion of her Educational Careers class at Bullock Creek High School. Throughout this time, she has supported the behind the scenes portions of our nature program as well as worked directly with a variety of teachers and students. Last week, she planned a lesson for Ms. Pretzer’s kindergarten class that involved her peers.

As we recognize National School Counseling Week, I am sharing one of my very favorite pictures of Floyd's school counselor, Mrs. Kristie Clark. This is from a visit with my 5th grade class four years ago. The mutual respect and care for each other is something I vividly remember from when I took this picture. How lucky we are to be building such loving relationships! I am also sharing the link from her TV interview for winning an Excellence in Education Award from the Michigan Lottery last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRH2LIk58Sc
