As the school counselor at FMS, I'm passionate about helping students understand their ability to grow academically and socially.  Using Solution Focused Counseling, I help children deal positively with challenges in their daily lives so they can be ready to learn in the classroom.  It is important for me to help my students be curios about their world, learn acceptable ways to interact with others, and develop plans for school and for life after school.  Every one of our students has the ability to make positive changes in the world.  To prepare them to do that, I give my students the tools to gain a positive sense of self, the ability to think for themselves, and the desire to treat everyone with kindness and respect.   "Careful the things you say, children will listen. Careful the things you do, children will see, and learn." ~The Witch from Into the Woods.
