Thrall ISD -

This week, we are shining a well-deserved spotlight on our incredible counselor, Mrs. Virdell. Whether she’s guiding a student through a tough day or helping our Tigers plan for the future, Mrs. Virdell does it all with a smile.

She is the definition of friendly and upbeat, and her "can-do" attitude is a cornerstone of our campus. Most importantly, she is the secret weapon that helps control the chaos here at Thrall Middle School! Thank you, Mrs. Virdell, for your dedication to every single one of our students. We appreciate you more than words can say!

We LOVE our elementary school counselor, Mrs. Bow! Thank you for everything you do for our kids and campus!! Happy Counselor Week!💜
