WELCOME!
Hi there! My name is Cienna Ostby, and I am SO excited to be starting as the full time Elementary School Counselor at Bonner Elementary School this year! My mission is to ensure that every student feels seen, heard, and supported while at school. I cannot wait to see what this school year brings at Bonner!
I received my Master's of Science in Counseling and Student Personnel-Professional School Counseling K-12 from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I am originally from South Dakota where I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology at the University of South Dakota. I have been a Minnesotan for a little over two years now and have to admit that I love it here!
At Bonner Elementary, I will be implementing classroom lessons, facilitating small groups, and meeting with students individually to support their academic, career, and social-emotional development. My goal is to make school a safe and comfortable place for ALL students to thrive!
I am here to help! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
