I am excited to be the School Counselor at Deer Creek Grove Valley.  This will

be my sixth year as a school counselor in the Deer Creek School District.  It

is my goal to guide students as they learn to build strong healthy

relationships within a positive, caring environment.

 

My husband, Mike and I have been married for thirty-two years.  We have been

blessed with three amazing children.  Michael is currently the General Manager

for Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Oklahoma City and is married to Jennifer.

They are the proud parents of my granddaughter, Siler Avery! Our daughter,

Sarah, is a RN/BSN in the “Women’s Special Care” unit at OU Medical Center.

Joshua is attending Oklahoma University this year and will be marching

with the "PRIDE of OKLAHOMA"!!!! 

 

I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1980 with a degree in

Education.  In 2002, I completed my Master’s degree in Early Childhood

Education and have since completed my Master’s in School Guidance and

Counseling.

 

The counseling program at Deer Creek Grove Valley includes regularly scheduled

guidance classes within the classroom setting.  During our time together, I

will be working with the children in the areas of social and personal

development, career education, and the school-wide anti-bullying program is

also implemented through the classroom guidance lessons. Small groups are

offered during the school year to reinforce social skills, study skills,

changing family dynamics or other topics as they arise.  Individual counseling

can be implemented at the request of a parent, if needed.

 

My other responsibilities at Deer Creek Grove Valley include New Kids Club,

Antler Ambassadors, Safety Patrol, Flag Patrol, Terrific Kids.  To find
