Counselor's corner

Plant Kindness

My theme this year is "Plant Kindness". You never know what someone might be going through or what challenges they might be facing. When we treat others with kindness we are giving ourselves and others a chance to grow into something amazing!

Second Step

The first unit of our 2nd Step Curriculum is about growth mindset and goal setting. Students in all grades will be learning about growing and learning by tackling new challenges and how to make a plan to get where they want to go.

Character Education

We will be introducing the 6 Pillars to students in K-5 during August. Those pillars are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

About me

I love being a school counselor! Previously I was a classroom teacher and taught K, 4th, 5th and 6th grades. My husband and I have lived in Topeka for over 20 years! We met at K-State and are still big Wildcat fans. We have two children. Our son Cooper loves baseball and history. Our daughter Campbell loves theater and writing. Splash is our dog and McClure's professional therapy dog. Check out her page for fun pictures of Splash and our family.
