Please help us in celebrating our two wonderful North Star counselors during National School Counseling week (February 5 - 9).

North Star is incredibly lucky to have two amazing counselors on our team. Caren Baum works with our K-8 students and families, while Heather McLaughlin works with our high school students and families.

Both counselors certainly go above and beyond to support our school by providing a variety of services and supports that ultimately create better outcomes for all students.

One way to help us celebrate the incredible impact they have on our school community is to send notes of thanks and appreciation during this week of celebration.

Thank you-
