                      Thursday, September 14, 2023

  Mr. CROW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments 
of Vicki Helfer, recipient of the Colorado High School Counselor of the 
Year award.
  As a counselor for Aurora Central High School, Vicki advises students 
to work through their assignments and supports them through the 
anxieties that come with graduating. Outside of her counselor 
responsibilities, she advocates on behalf of her students. Vicki has 
helped her students obtain gender-neutral bathrooms and has assisted in 
creating programs to support students whose first language is not 
English.
  Vicki is a model mentor and an outstanding civilian. Her dedication 
to supporting our youth has undoubtedly led to the recognition she 
deserves. I congratulate Vicki for being named the Colorado High School 
Counselor of the Year and wish her continued success.
