Dearest students and families,

Welcome back, Champion Cowboys!

It’s time to lace up your sneakers, put on your game face, and get ready for another winning season here at Alma Pierce Elementary! As your school counselor, I’m excited to be part of your team this year. Whether you're a rookie pre-kindergartener or a seasoned 5th-grade all-star, we’re all here to grow, learn, and support one another.

Just like in sports, teamwork, communication, respect, and perseverance are the keys to success both in and out of the classroom.

⚽ Teamwork – We’ll practice kindness, cooperation, and cheering each other on.
🏀 Respect – For ourselves, our teammates, our coaches (teachers!), and our school.
🎾 Resilience – We’ll bounce back when things get tough and keep pushing forward.
🏈 Goal Setting – We’ll work hard to set personal goals and celebrate every victory, big or small.

My goal as your counselor is to help every student feel like an MVP – Most Valuable Person – every single day. I’ll be here for support, encouragement, and to help you stay mentally strong and emotionally ready for every challenge on and off the field.

Let’s make this school year a championship one – full of growth, grit, and greatness! 💪

Let the games begin!
📣 Go Cowboys!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Diaz

Alma A. Pierce Counselor
