Hello Scholars, Family, and Friends,
I am Kelly Lott, your School Counselor here at East Middle School.
If I could use a couple of quotes that would represent how I try to live, they would be to, "Leave people better than you found them," "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" and "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
So, what does a school counselor do? Helps scholars when they are having a hard day. Teaches skills to help with feelings, learning, and focus. Supports scholars with friendships and solving personal problems. Inspires scholars to explore college and career aspirations. Encourages scholars to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.
Please don't hesitate to reach out. My contact information is:
