Kudos for Chapter President

Deb Boyer, counselor at Aurora Elementary School, was doubly honored recently at the Mid-Winter Conference in Bismarck.
The North Dakota School Counselor Association (NDSCA) presented the 2015 NDSCA Outstanding Counselor of the Year Award to Ms. Boyer. Finalists are judged on several criteria: creative school counseling innovations, effective counseling programs, leadership skills and contributions to student enhancement.


She received the 2015 North Dakota Association for Counselor Education & Supervision (ND ACES) Dr. Robert C. Nielsen Supervisor of the Year Award. The NDSCA ND ACES recognizes the supervisor that provides outstanding supervision to ND university counseling interns and/or ND pre-licensure counselors. Award recipients must demonstrate sustained excellence in supervision marked by compassion, caring and commitment to optimism.

From the West Fargo Public School District, Debbie received the Kaleidoscope Award from Dr. Flowers! He makes kaleidoscopes and this is his way of recognizing people in the district for their outstanding achievement.

Congratulations!

Downton Abbey At The Library



Bookmark and Share 

 Some fans of the popular show Downton Abbey got an inside look into the fashion of the show.
 The television series is set in the early 1900's and it is known for its iconic costume designs.
Fans got the opportunity to listen to a presentation from NDSU's Dr. Ann Braaten at the Fargo Public Library.
This is one of the library's many fan based programs.
Past programs include The Hobbit and Star Wars.
"It's a great opportunity for the community to come together and to unite around something that they're enthusiastic about and it's great to see so many people enthusiastic about Downton Abbey," said Library Associate Drea Cook.
This is the second time the library has hosted a Downton Abbey event.
