WW School Counselors Present at Local Conference
A local organization, School Counselors of NEPA, hosted a one-day conference at the University of Scranton. Erica Germani, RDW School Counselor, and Lisa Jacques, Middles School Counselor, presented a workshop as part of the day’s events. Their presentation was titled “The Advisory Council: Collaboration together towards a better tomorrow.” Mrs. Germani and Mrs. Jacques shared their experience of hosting these stakeholder groups at both the district and school levels. They offered tips and strategies to local school counselors who were interested in starting their own advisory councils. “It is so important that we collaborate and form relationships with other school counselors in the area,” Mrs. Germani remarks. “We were proud to share some of the great things that are happening at Western Wayne, and we in turn learned a lot by attending the conference as well.”

RDW Hosts Local Entrepreneur
Mrs. Thorpe, secretary at RDW, recently opened her own floral shop called “For the Birds: Floral and Gifts.” She spoke to second and fifth grade students about her experience of starting a business from scratch. She shared her exciting progress as well as the difficulties of being an entrepreneur (e.g. you don’t make much money in the beginning, you have no “sick” days, if there’s any problems you have to solve them on your own). Students also watched how a floral arrangement is created from start (flowers in boxes) to finish. They even got to take some flowers home!
Thank you Mrs. Thorpe for sharing your experience with our students!
