I have been a school social worker for 23 years and have been at Stepping Stone for 16 years. During this time I have watched the school grow as we have provided a safe and nurturing environment. As we have offered our educational and therapeutic services to the community, I have been able to guide and help the students that have been a part of our school community. Times change, as do schools, however throughout the changes, we continue to provide a service to the community which is precious. I am so appreciative to be a part of this wonderful school community. I am so grateful to be able to share “our safe port” with all the children and their families who have needed us in the past and will continue to need us in the future. We strive to teach and nurture “our kids”, to let them know that they are OK and that we will help to guide them and their families on their emotional and educational journeys. The teachings of Choice Theory help to guide us all in caring for our students and their families.
