As the new school year gets underway, back-to-school events are bringing energy and connection to our school communities—and our staff is already making an impact. At PS 111, Joleen Silva collaborated closely with Principal Hamm and the school community exemplifying the teamwork and relationship-building that strengthen community ties. At these events, our staff share the wide range of supports Counseling In Schools provides, including lunch groups, art therapy, calming zones, and parent workshops, ensuring that students and families know they have resources to thrive throughout the school year.
