About Mrs. Easdon

I am full of energy and excitement about starting my sixth year at Pinon Valley. My intention is to continue to, at minimum, briefly connect with each student in our building. I feel very strongly about reinforcing the positive climate we have here at PVE, and consistently meeting with students is one way I can do that. I feel very fortunate to be at Pinon Valley, and I look forward to continuing to support our wonderful students and community.

I hold a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Masters Degree in School Counseling. I am also a National Certified Counselor.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two young girls. I also love to run, snowboard, and watch hockey.

I can be reached via phone before and after school, and sometimes at lunch. My extension is #33. If you get into the answering system please leave me a message. You can also send me an e-mail at measdon@cmsd12.org


I Believe...

  • I believe all students have a voice, and that voice deserves to be heard.

  • I believe nurturing the whole child leads to greater success and growth.

  • I believe all children have the potential to make a difference.

  • I believe humans thrive on and desire connection. My intention is to cultivate connection with each child that enters my room, and to encourage students to connect with others.

  • I believe allowing children the dignity to struggle, and perhaps fail, builds perseverance and worth.

  • I believe students learn and develop best in a safe and nurturing environment.


Social/Emotional Learning Curriculum

Classroom counseling will focus primarily on the BrainWise and Second Step curriculums. BrainWise is a program for building critical thinking and decision making skills. Second Step is a program designed to teach students how to understand and manage their emotions, control their reactions, be aware of others' feelings, and develop the skills to problem solve and make responsible decisions.

Small Group Counseling

Small group counseling participation will be based on individual need and parent consent. Possible topics may include deployment, friendship, changing families, grief, and worry/anxiety.
