A few of our high school students were selected to participate in Visit the Hill 2012. Visit the Hill is an opportunity for students to meet with legislators and learn more about issues specifically surrounding school counseling, college counseling, and college funding. Students spent the morning learning about funding levels, current legislation, and advocacy skills. They were also able to have lunch with Lt. Governor Reynolds before heading to the state capital.
We were able to meet with Representative Garrett and talk with him about the importance of having school counselors. One of the current proposed bills would allow schools not to have a school counselor. Our kids did a great job of explaining what it is that we do for them!
If you would like to voice your opinion, please write or call your legislators.
