This week, as we celebrate School Counselor Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to recognize someone who truly deserves all the praise—Mrs. Ferrell! She consistently goes above and beyond for every student, no matter the challenge or concern. Whether it’s a small worry or a bigger issue, Mrs. Ferrell always makes time to listen, guide, and offer support with compassion and care. Her dedication and kindness make her an essential part of our LBES family, and we are incredibly fortunate to have her here. Mrs. Ferrell, thank you for all that you do! We love you!

Words will never be sufficient, but we express heartfelt gratitude for all who have elected to serve our country in the name of freedom. The sacrifices of our servicemen and women, and those of their families should never go unnoticed or unappreciated.
