<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">I wanted to clarify the desk retreats that we are having. Because we are not able to have our fun get together retreats,</span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;color:#002060">☹</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">,
we are having desk retreats. One of our desk retreats will be with you-our counselors that have attended a face to face retreat since 2009 and one will be with “new” counselors. You are more than welcome to join both of them, just because it says “new” counselors,
that doesn’t mean you cannot attend. It was great to have some of our “veteran counselors” join us this past Wednesday as they shared great information. We will have monthly desk retreats for both groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">We have decided to keep them separate because you all have built a relationship by attending our retreats and through our counselor discussion board.</span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif;color:#002060">😊</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">
Hopefully next school year (I know I can’t believe I’m talking about 2021-22) we can have our face to face retreats again and they can join us.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060">Again, you are more than welcome to join us even though it may say “new”, you all have great knowledge and information that you can add to the conversations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
