Hi Tiger Family,

March is Women's History Month! Take some time to appreciate a girl or woman in your life, whether it's a friend, family member, or maybe even someone at MLK! Spring Break is also only a few short weeks away. Think about ways you can unwind, relax, and have some fun! As always, your Tiger Counseling Team is here to support you as you reach for your goals.



Warmly,

Your Tiger Counseling Team

St. Patrick's Day
