💙 National School Counselor Week 💙

We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Bednar and Mrs. Trauernicht and the impact they have on our students every single day. At Southern, being a small-school community means knowing our students personally—and you both turn that into big opportunities through your care, guidance, and unwavering support.

Thank you for walking alongside our Raiders, believing in them, and helping shape their futures. Southern is stronger because of you. Raider Nation appreciates you! ❤️🖤
