who is Ms. kobs? 

Welcome to Beverly Cleary!  I am your middle school counselor and I look forward to being your advocate and safe adult you can come to for help.  This is my sixth year as a school counselor and my 21st year in education.  Prior to being a counselor, I was a teacher and taught a 4/5 blend, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.  The majority of my experience was at Jackson Middle School where I taught for 12 years before coming to BCS.  

I grew up in Bend, Oregon and love my hometown for all the outdoor recreation and its close vicinity to the mountains.  I love to hike, snowboard, camp, fish, snow shoe, soak up the sunshine, be near the rivers and lakes, and most importantly spend time with family and friends.  

I also love to travel and try new things.  My values include growth and adventure.  When I'm not at school, you can find me spending time with my daughter, Marley.  

I love being your school counselor and I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
