WELCOME!

Greetings!

I am privileged to work with all the Kindergarten and some first grade children at the Carl T. Mitnick School. I have worked in the district for 37 years, first as a Teacher and then as a School Counselor. I am delighted to work with the Mitnick staff, as well as with the young children and their families. I tell the children that my job at school is to help everyone have a happy day. I am located in Room A10, the Sunshine Room!

I am also the Homeless Liaison for the district. I am the contact person if you ever have a housing crisis or need housing resources.

Please do not hesitate to contact me. Stay well!

Miss Karen and her therapy dogs, Morgan, Molly and Annie, who are certified by the Alliance of Therapy Dogs as a Pet Therapy Team, are volunteers that are an integral part of the Mitnick School counseling program. They visit with every Kindergarten class each month, and some first grade classes as well. They spend time with individual children one day each week. Morgan, Molly and Annie help reduce anxiety, encourage appropriate actions, regulate emotions, foster language and bring greater joy to the day for children and staff. Thank you!

Julia Sangillo, one of the Mitnick counselors, is also a certified Pet Therapy Team with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs with her six year old Golden Retriever named Daisy. Daisy visits Mitnick each week as well and you can find her in the Sunshine Room.
