If you see Ms. Cusic, make sure to thank her for another successful career day! Students got to experience over a dozen different careers with our community partners. It's never too early to start planning for your future.

This week is National School Counseling week and we would like to thank Ms. Cusic for all that she does. Not only is she a wonderful colleague, but a tremendous asset to students, parents and the community. We are very lucky to have her here at Beals.
