This week our Administrators and Guidance counselor hosted a Parent Involvement Event that focused on ways to help students be successful. We were happy to have parents attend and ask questions about how to help at home.
How Hiland Park Counselors Max & Jamie Are Bringing the Counseling Plan to Life
At Hiland Park Elementary, our school counselors, Max and Jamie, are committed to building a counseling program that strengthens relationships, grows student leadership, and supports families. Through intentional schoolwide activities and family engagement events, they are putting the Comprehensive School Counseling Plan into action every day. Two recent initiatives—Veterans Cards and Parent University—show how our counseling plan is being brought to life across campus.
🇺🇸 Veterans Cards Activity: Building Leadership, Empathy, and Community
The Veterans Cards project is more than a craft—it’s a meaningful experience that aligns directly with our Comprehensive School Counseling Plan. As students create handwritten cards and messages for local veterans, they practice:
Empathy & kindness
Service & gratitude
Leadership & responsibility
These skills tie into the Leader in Me framework and the Ron Clark House System, both of which emphasize student leadership, relationship building, and positive school culture. By engaging in this community-based act of service, students strengthen the Body, Heart, Mind, and Spirit dimensions of growth—the very foundation of the counseling plan. The result is a schoolwide sense of pride, belonging, and connection.
