A note from our Presidents:January 8, 2018
Our next meeting will be our annual brunch graciously hosted by Sussex County Technical School on Tuesday, February 13, 2018. We will start with a welcome and update by administration at 8:30 a.m. and then our business meeting will follow. If time permits, we will break into groups for sharing but we don't want to cut into our fabulous brunch prepared by the wonderful culinary students! Brunch will be the conclusion of our program. A great big thanks to Mike Tresslar for arranging this great day for us. SNOW DATE: The Chef at Sussex Tech needs a day to prep if the scheduled date is snowed out so Counselor Brunch snow date is Thursday Feb.22. at 8:30 am (because of Presidents 2-day Weekend). It is also time for our annual Counselor of the County nominations. Please send me any names of your colleagues you feel are deserving of this prestigious award. Please attach a brief biography and email to me at jkoch@hpregional.org. A committee will be formed to select our 2018 Counselor of the County who will then be honored at a breakfast in May as well as at our end of year luncheon. Please send me all nominations by Wednesday, January 31st. Also, we are calling all of our creative technical colleagues to step up and assume the role of webmaster of our sussexcountysca website. Chantel Seger has done a superb job of maintaining this site for many years and the site has done a tremendous job of keeping our members updated and promoting our organization. Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for Chantel and her beautiful family, she has decided to stay home for the next several years to be with her family! All the best to you Chantel, and we thank you for all that you've done, even maintaining our website throughout your entire maternity leave! Please let us know if you would be able to assume this responsibility. Please RSVP to Mike Tresslar at mtresslar@sussex.tec.nj.us by Tuesday, January 30 to let us know you will be joining us on February 13th! Looking forward to seeing you then. Fondly, Joanne and Kim October 30, 2017
Dear Counselors, In coordination with the Center for Prevention, United Way, the county ABS meetings and the School Support Network, we are extending an invitation to the November 7th School Support Network meeting. This topic of this month's meeting is : The Need for Coping Skills in an Age of Anxiety. Presented by Paul DePinto. Instead of asking a therapist to do another presentation for our organization, we will be joining others at this meeting. And many of our counselors already attend the monthly ABS meetings. Both November and February meetings will provide necessary information to us on anxiety and supporting LGBT students. Instead of a separate meeting for the winter, we would like to join in with the School Support Network to gain this valuable information. Our next formal SCSCA meeting will be our brunch graciously hosted by Sussex Tech on Tuesday, February 6th. In the meantime, please continue to consult our webpage at sussexcountysca.org for lots of pertinent information. Hoping to see you at the School Support Network! Please use the link to register. You do not need to email Joanne or I. We hope to see your there. Joanne and Kim Information Regarding Morris County School Counselor Association (MCPCA):
Hi, Sussex! We had our first MCPCA Executive Board meeting this week and Morris is very interested in continuing our shared relationship with Sussex. The only item I've been asked to pass along to you is that MCPCA's by-laws require MCPCA membership dues used for student scholarships must go to students attending Morris County high schools. So any Sussex County counselors who would like to join MCPCA, come to Morris County's dinner meetings, participate fully in all MCPCA PD, communication, etc., are invited to join MCPCA by clicking here and we welcome them all! ...and I hope you both have a great year, too!
