Colwich Elementary School

Counselor’s Corner with Mrs. Marilee Mayo …

My name is Marilee Mayo and I’m so excited to be at Colwich Elementary for my second year! I feel truly lucky to be part of a school community that values connections, kindness and helping every child shine.

As the school counselor, I get to work with students in a variety of ways - through classroom lessons, small groups and individual support. My goal is to connect with all the students and continue to build a relationship with each and every one of them. If there is anything I can help with, please know you can always reach out if you have questions, concerns or just want to connect. I love to hear their celebrations and good things as well! 

For the month of September, our classroom lessons will focus on kindness. We define kindness as acting with understanding, generosity and care. We will be learning what kindness looks like and sounds like at school and you can keep the conversation going at home too! 

I will also be spending some time with our new students to help them settle into their new classrooms and check in with them. It’s a great chance to start building relationships with me and their classmates.
