In recognition of School Counselor’s Week, the Alton Elementary would like to take this time to honor our school counselor, Mrs. Willard. Mrs. Willard exemplifies love and compassion for our students in so many ways. She implements counseling lessons each week with our students, takes the time to listen to their individual needs and goes above and beyond to connect them with the necessary resources to support their daily needs at home and in school. Mrs. Willard has worked tirelessly to improve our school climate and culture through the establishment of Comets Who Care. Comets Who Care is a student led group who work to set an example for others and give back to our community. In addition to her many roles and responsibilities as the counselor, this year she has organized a clothing closet to fill clothing needs as they may arise and established a classroom partnership to grow our relationship with our community.
Thank you to Mrs. Willard for all your hard work and dedication to our students and school!
