Over the summer, the Frenship ISD Counseling went through some changes, so we caught up with Craig Thomson, Director of Counseling, to discuss what's new and how they serve our Frenship students.

Before Winter break, students in the Family and Community Service course and Counseling and Mental Health course worked to create Christmas cards that they later delivered to the 90 residents of Crown Point Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Lubbock.

Earlier this school year, Frenship ISD launched a new program called Threads and Treads, after receiving a large anonymous donation. Through this program, students in need are able to get brand new clothing and shoes.

The mentor program at FHS is made up of more than 100 students who serve elementary and middle school students across 11 campuses. The mentors each have two mentees, and in some cases more!

Counselors and teachers across Frenship connect and engage with students every school year, but due to COVID-19 they are having to become an even more creative resource for students, parents, and staff.

February 3–7, 2020 marks National School Counseling Week by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).
