Ashley Winchester

Hello Hellooooooooooo

My name is Ashley Winchester & I am the Kindergarten & First Grade Counselor!!                                                                                                                             My job is the BEST JOB in the school!! I serve as the Kinders & Firsties confidant, their listening ear, and even their shoulder to cry on.                                                      

Early age students sometimes struggle to verbally communicate their big feelings, thoughts, and emotions!! But that does not, by any means, mean that they are not important!!                                                                                                                                                  As their school counselor, that’s where I step in! I am here to guide our young scholars through those big feelings & help them process and understand their emotions!!                                                                                                                                                                               Even at this early stage in their educational journey we have to learn the appropriate way to handle CONFLICT and resolution. Under this umbrella we also learn how    to be KIND to one another, how to SHARE, how to be cooperative & most importantly……how to show EMPATHY as these skills will be evident years later when they    enter the workforce!!                                                     

I also serve as their personal cheerleader, encourager and motivator!! It is my duty to promote positivity, build self-confidence & help students become aware that the sky is the limit!!                                                                                                  I absolutely love teaching whole group classes, small group and one-on-one counseling sessions! It is my goal to create Happy Children!! Children with High Self -Esteem!!! And Children with Manners!!                                                                                                                                                                        Parents I am here if you need me. I am a very friendly & happy individual, ready to help out in any way I can.
