Congratulations to South Ridge Elementary School counselor Anna Moskal for being selected as the 2022-23 Advocate of the Year by Career Connect Southwest! Anna received the award in recognition of the time and passion she invests in career exploration for the youngest students. In her role as school counselor, Moskal provides memorable career exploration experiences that simultaneously connect her students to their own community.
\r\nRecently, Moskal and her colleagues pulled off a successful “Careers on Wheels” event, where students got an opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat of a city bus, climb aboard a Coast Guard ship, and peek into the back of a news van. The students interacted with and asked questions of the adults from their community who work in those vehicles, and were able to start imagining themselves in those jobs someday.
\r\n“Anna’s organized approach to event planning streamlines everything, so the energy of the group is focused on creating the best possible experience for her lucky students,” Mullen shared. “We’re so happy to celebrate our Advocate of the Year Award winner, Anna Moskal!”
\r\nWay to go, Anna!
