CARING FOR COUNSELORS
SUPPORT THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOUR STUDENTS

Renaissance is about celebrating all staff and faculty (staffulty) in your school and school counselors are an important but often overlooked part of your team. Counselors spend their days caring for students, from schedules to paperwork to listening to their frustrations, and they can use a little care themselves. This kit will help you recognize them and the critical work they do, and also provide them with resources they can use to benefit students. If you need more of the pens, notepads, water bottles, posters, buttons, or Commitment to Graduate® flyers, they are available at JostensRenaissance.com/store or contact your Jostens rep.
