Mrs. McGinnis is a Career Counselor for Academy One at Wallenpaupack. You might have seen her working with students in the Guidance Office or at the Buckhorn Bridge. She also works with our Student Ambassadors and Aevidum Group. Mrs. McGinnis spends lots of time supporting our students and staff, but in the new year, she hopes to also take her own advice and prioritize self-care. She says, “I’ve found over this past year already that I’m not doing a great job at balancing my own self-care with everyone’s needs, and I’m getting exhausted!”
Moving into 2026, Mrs. McGinnis has a plan to improve her self-care routine. She shared that Mrs. Monte, one of her fellow counselors, often invites her to get their nails done together, so she plans to take that offer more often. At home, she hopes to take time to read each night before bed. As we all move into the new year, hoping to achieve new goals, it’s important to take care of ourselves.
