“I go to work each day with the sole intention of leaving people better than I found them. Being selected as GES T.O.Y. is truly an incredible honor. I am determined to make my school proud as I represent them over the next year.” -Mrs. Hall, GES School Counselor🖤

School counselors also provide short term individual counseling when students need extra support throughout the school day! This student was missing a loved one who moved away. We read “The Invisible String” and made a special necklace with her and her loved one’s initials 💕

Good luck, Mrs. Hall, as you begin the District T.O.Y. application process! Lexington County School District One Gilbert Elementary School

During this month’s lesson, our 4th graders did a gallery walk to practice creating positive self talk statements when faced with a problem. The things we tell ourselves are so important to pay attention to! Students got to take home a positive affirmation that spoke to them.

Our teachers truly went above and beyond to decorate their doors! We can’t wait to see who the winner will be!
