During National School Counselor Week 2026, SES proudly recognizes Heather Nocero for her dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our students and school community. Heather consistently supports students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being while building strong relationships with families and staff. Her advocacy, professionalism, and genuine care make a meaningful difference every day at SES. We are grateful for the positive impact she has on our students and for all that she does to support our school community.
We also want to recognize and celebrate our MHS counselors, Jacob Wilcox and Marie Torrey, who play a vital role in supporting students during some of the most important years of their lives. Through their dedication to mental health support, academic guidance, career and college planning, and life-ready skill development, they help students navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and plan for the future with confidence. Their compassion, expertise, and commitment extend far beyond the counseling office, making a lasting impact on students, families, and our entire school community.
We are incredibly grateful for all that they do—today and every day.

After exploring an engaging informational text about bridges and how they connect people and places, Mrs. Wallin’s students took their learning one step further with a hands-on engineering challenge using marshmallows and spaghetti. Working as individuals or partners, students designed and built their own bridges, testing how strong and stable their structures could be while applying ideas they discovered in the book.
The activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking as students experimented with different designs and learned that mistakes are part of the learning process. By blending literacy with STEM, students deepened their understanding of how stories connect to the real world — and had a lot of fun building along the way!
