One of the often unsung heroes of our school is Ms. Shabrea Fullwood. She works at our school by way of Catawba Family Services and plays a vital role in supporting the emotional well-being of our students. Ms. Fullwood acts as an in-house counselor, offering a safe and confidential space for students to talk about any challenges or struggles they may be facing. Whether it's navigating personal issues, managing stress, or dealing with family matters, Ms. Fullwood provides guidance and support that helps students feel heard and understood. Her compassionate presence makes a significant difference in the lives of many, creating a nurturing environment where students can thrive both academically and emotionally.
Riverwalk Academy is deeply grateful for Ms. Fullwood's dedication and care for our students. Her unwavering commitment to their well-being is truly appreciated, and we are fortunate to have her as part of our school community. #SchoolCounselor #StudentWellBeing #EmotionalSupport #MentalHealthMatters #RiverwalkAcademy #CatawbaFamilyServices #SchoolCommunity #SupportOurStudents
