Hello Lions!
As the new school year begins, I hope each of our students and families is feeling excited, rested, and ready for a fresh start! The return to school is a wonderful time to set new goals, embrace new learning opportunities, and reconnect with friends and teachers. As you transition into your new routines, remember to keep using the coping skills that help you navigate changes, stay organized, make time for rest along time school, and reach out for support whenever you need it. Every small habit of self-care and positivity can make a big difference in having a successful year. I am so proud of our school community, and I cannot wait to see all that our students will accomplish this fall!
Warmly,
Kelly Gossett
School Counselor
Hi there! I am Kelly Gossett. This will be my 7th year working at La France Elementary. A little bit about me: I attended The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated with my Elementary Education degree. I taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade in Cabarrus County Schools in North Carolina. Following, I graduated from Clemson University with my Masters and Education Specialist degrees in School Counseling. I love working with students and supporting them to reach their goals! My husband, my son, and I love living in the Upstate. We enjoy running/walking/hiking, traveling, reading, spending time with family and friends, and attending sporting events.
