Kansas School Counselors
Are A Piece of the
Education Puzzle!

Meet the author of this poem by
clicking on her name.

Schools are like jigsaw puzzles.
Each edge piece of a puzzle interlocks with
two others to form the puzzles' framework and
give structure and support
to the puzzle as a whole.

Each piece has a unique design and cut that
ensure just the right place to
fit within the puzzle. Each morning,
counselors form the edge pieces that interlock
to create a safe environment and give support
to each other and the whole.

Each morning, they provide just
the "right" place for each of
the students to fit safely and securely.
Counselors are strength and
stability like the edge pieces,
they do not stand alone in this responsibility.

There are always others to
support and assist, ensuring that each
and every student has a place.
