Pinedale Elementary

I feel really grateful to be part of this wonderful, supportive community. What I love most about being a school counselor here is the opportunity to make a positive difference in our students' lives and help boost their confidence and self-esteem.

I know I found my work home in Pinedale. I know this because we (students and staff) celebrate one another.  I know this because we support and encourage one another.  I know this because even on the hard days, I feel safe and comfortable.  Pinedale is my home.

I feel so fortunate to be part of the Pinedale family.  The support of my teaching partners, the dedication of our staff, and the joy of our students make Pinedale such a special place to be!

Pinedale has been a part of my life for 25 years. I attended Pinedale when I was a kid, and it played a huge role in shaping who I am today! Now, I have the incredible opportunity to help shape the next generation of students. 

"Because young children haven't yet developed social filters, the things they say are often both humorous and genuinely heartfelt. I love this age group."

"There are very few places that bring out the best in people in everything they do. Pinedale is one of those places."
