My Project

Building relationships with trusted adults helps students feel connected and supported at school. Likewise, having safe spaces to go when feeling stressed or overwhelmed supports students in successfully recovering from uncomfortable situations. I want my students to always know that my office and our school's Student Services department is a welcoming place where they can safely land, no matter what may be happening in their lives. Sometimes, kids just need a snack, a warm smile, and a safe place where they can get re-grounded before tackling the rest of their day. Help me support our awesome students as they work to be successful learners!
