It is FRYSC Appreciation Week, and at Jenkins Independent Schools, we are taking a moment to celebrate the heart of our support system: our amazing Coordinator, Ms. Angie Collins!
The mission of our Family Resource and Youth Services Center is to remove "non-academic barriers" to learning, but Ms. Angie goes above and beyond that every single day. Whether it's:
💚 Ensuring our students have warm coats and shoes for the winter weather,
💚 Providing school supplies and hygiene essentials,
💚 Connecting our families with community resources in times of need, or
💚 Simply being a safe, supportive face for a student who needs a helping hand.
Ms. Angie doesn't just fill gaps; she builds bridges. She makes sure that when our kids walk through the school doors, comfortable and ready to focus on their future.
Ms. Angie, thank you for your tireless dedication to our students and for always putting the "Family" in Jenkins Independent. We are so lucky to have you!
🟢 Cavalier Spotlight: Celebrating Our Guidance Counselors! 🟢
We couldn't let the month go by without celebrating National School Counseling Week and our two incredible counselors: Ms. Kandace Blair and Ms. Candi Richardson!
Our guidance counselors are the compasses of our schools. They work tirelessly to ensure our students are supported emotionally, socially, and academically. They spend their days navigating college applications and career paths, providing a listening ear and a safe space during tough times, and helping students build the social skills they need to succeed. From coordinating schedules to ensuring everyone stays on the path to graduation, their impact is felt in every classroom.
Ms. Kandace and Ms. Candi are more than just advisors; they are advocates for every child who walks through our halls. They help our Cavaliers find their voice and their future.
To Ms. Blair and Ms. Richardson: Thank you for your wisdom, your patience, and your unwavering commitment to our students' well-being. Jenkins Independent is better because of you!
