About Mrs. Held
About Mrs. Held
I am incredibly happy to work at Robert Gray Middle School! The teachers, staff and administrators care about our students and are dedicated to the academic rigor required for our students to achieve excellence in learning.
As a counselor, I love working with Middle school students! I've often said, "Middle school students are young enough they still like adults and old enough you can have amazing conversations with them." Early adolescents is a time for growth, self-discovery, connecting with peers and the world around them. Youth are filled with energy, emotions, creative ideas, and are continuing to cultivate cognitive skills while becoming young adults. Working in this supportive environment makes my "J-O-B" a delightful way to spend each school day!
Sometimes people ask about my personal life. My husband, Jay and I have been married for 36 years and recently moved to Newberg. We raised four children, each PPS graduates. We love them very much! Spending time with each of our adult children and their partners is wonderful. My favorite things to do when not at work: trips to the Oregon coast or Mt. Hood, watching movies, gardening, solving daily WORDLE puzzles, listening to Audible books, playing board games, time with friends, singing in the annual Portland Singing Christmas Tree production, taking pictures of nature/sunrises/sunsets, and kayaking. Oh yes, we have a rascally rescue puppy, Lewey who is 8 years old. He is always ready for a walk and end of the day cuddles.

Have you lost someone you love?
Have you lost someone you love?
Is your heart overwhelmed with emotions and you aren't quite sure how to process the death? Grief may be a normal emotion, but it can be tough. No need to do it alone. Grief support group is a safe space to share, to sit and listen, to feel the raw emotions of grief, to breathe, to do art, listen to music and to consider what it means to live life, while creating a new normal. ASK Mrs. Held for details.
