June 2026

Happy June, Rolling Hills families!

It is hard to believe, but the end of another school year is already here! After five wonderful years as your school counselor, one of my absolute favorite things to do at this time of year is reflect on our students' incredible growth. From learning how to navigate friendship hurdles to facing big fears and managing complex emotions, it is a true joy to witness our Pumas bloom over time.

As a father myself, I am right there in the trenches with you—constantly learning, adapting, and looking for ways to improve my parenting. (With a teenager at home now, I need all the help I can get!)

With that in mind, I wanted to share a fantastic resource I recently came across: a podcast called Ask Lisa. Each episode tackles a real question sent in by a parent. I’ve found the advice to be incredibly practical, grounding, and reassuring. As you prepare for the shift into summer schedules, this podcast might just be a lifesaver for your family toolkit!

I wish you all a safe, restful, and wonderful summer break. May your sunny days be filled with special memories with your loved ones!
