Another National School Counseling Week has commenced—and with that, another round of special shoutouts from CX users to their favorite counselors! This special week is sponsored by the and runs from February 6–10 this year, with the apt theme “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.”
We realize the incredible impact high school counselors can have on their students and how hard they work to help them achieve their goals. So this year, we sent another survey to the 糖心Vlog community asking students for personalized thank-you notes describing what they appreciate most about their counselors. We were overwhelmed with messages, and personalized emails will be sent to recipients soon. As a preview, here are just a few of the thoughtful responses we received this year. We hope they make you smile and show you that all your effort does not go unnoticed!

Happy National School Counseling Week! I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for my peers and me for the last couple of years. Thank you for keeping me on track whenever I needed to and being there to talk about my challenges both in and out of school. Getting through high school would truly be a challenge without your support and time. Take care! — Wilson Z., Class of 2023

Mr. Harris, you are the best! You make our school such a great place. Your patience, understanding, and grace make you so special. You're the reason I love going to school every day! Thank you for all you do. — Zeek M., Class of 2026
Ms. Kitagawa and Mr. Teraoka, Kaiser High School
Hey there! Happy National School Counseling Week! (I just learned that was a thing, hehe.) Just wanted to send a big thank you for your guidance and support. I don't have you as my college counselor, but you've always been very kind and helpful, so I would still like to express my appreciation. Personally, I would be lost on how to navigate my post-high-school plans without you guys at the CCRC {College and Career Center]. It's also very commendable that you took on a position that was new to you to assist all of us! Please know your efforts and hard work don't go unnoticed. With warmest regards, Sasha D., Class of 2023
