Susan Washa and Press Elementary’s Award-Winning Counseling Program Focus on Emotional Needs of Students
The role of school counselor is never an easy one. But, some days can be a bit more challenging than others.
Press Elementary Counselor Susan Washa knows this firsthand. One day, she spent more than two hours with a student after the student took their frustrations out on Washa’s office space.
