About Mrs. Cushman

Welcome to my website, Ellen Woodside Elementary 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students! I am so glad you are here. 

This is my second year as a school counselor at Ellen Woodside. Previously, I was a school counselor at Woodmont Middle, Sevier Middle, and T.L. Hanna high school. I love working with students of all ages! 

I want you to know that you are loved and valuable. Your thoughts and feelings matter! If you ever have questions, need help solving a problem, or just want someone to listen, I am here for you!

Fun Facts:

I came from a big family; I am the oldest of six children. 

I grew up in Maine. For several years, we lived in a log cabin that my dad built.

After getting married, my husband and I lived on the tropical island of Guam (Pacific Ocean) and taught in a private multicultural school.

We have two girls, pictured below, who are now taller than I am and attending college. 

I graduated from Clemson University. Go Tigers!
