DOUBLE Staff Spotlight: Ms. Roy and Mrs. Kaffer
It's National School Counseling Week! So we decided to honor both of our amazing school counselors.
Ms. Roy's friendly face is one that kids look for when they need to work through something. She is trusted and loved by every student that she works with!
Mrs. Kaffer has made such a positive impact during her first year with us! She is approachable, easy to talk to, and a dedicated social worker/counselor.
We're lucky to have both of these amazing ladies and hope you'll join us in thanking them for all their hard work!
