This week we celebrate National School Counseling Week! Each day, we will highlight one of our amazing counselors who provides our students and staff with support, compassion and extraordinary passion for what they do. Mrs. Whitney Monetti is the counselor for North Brooks Elementary School. Counselor Monetti has been a Trojan for 21 years, and she has been with NBES for 10 of those years!!! Mr. Lee, Principal of North Brooks Elementary School, shared, "Mrs. Monetti exemplifies kindness, respect, responsibility, compassion, and care for every student at North Brooks. She ensures each child feels valued and finds joy in their school experience. With her dedication and warm approach, she goes above and beyond to create a loving and supportive environment for all our students. As the leader of our PBIS initiative, she is making a profound impact by fostering a positive school culture and by teaching the 7 Habits of Successful Students through The Leader in Me initiative. Her passion for our students' well-being and growth shines in everything she does. We are truly fortunate to have Mrs. Monetti on our team to embrace success and to help make sure Good Things Grow Here!! " Counselor Monetti stated she loves being a counselor, because she loves getting to know the kids through learning about their interests and stories. She also expressed she loves being a Trojan because, "Being a Brooks County employee is like being part of a big family. I love coming to work each day because it truly feels like home." We love that Brooks County is your home Counselor Monetti! #SchoolCounselingWeek
