Counselor Appreciation Week! (LCAP Goal 5)
Miss Jeannine Hunter is an amazing asset to Gabilan Elementary!
When asked to share a little about herself, Miss Hunter stated,
“I have been an elementary school counselor for 15 years. When I was a little girl, I wanted to grow up and “help children.” I didn’t know what that job was called when I was little. I just knew that I would be good at this, because I like to help people feel better.
As a school counselor, I get to teach lessons to prevent bullying, teach kindness, help children learn about careers and a lot of other need stuff.
Some of the things I do are simple, like helping a child tie their shoes or giving someone a hug. Other times, my job is complicated. Everyday that I come to work, I feel lucky to work with the best teachers, staff, children and families! I love my Gabilan Family!
I love dogs, learning Spanish, watching movies, art, painting my nails and going hiking. I am tall, silly, covered in freckles and I like to see people smile.”
Jeannine’s bio that she shared does depict her quite well but one thing is important to share from other’s eyes. That is the fact that Miss Hunter makes a HUGE impact on the Gabilan family daily. Her desire to help others is felt deeply on our site. She is a strong advocate for our students and always puts them first. Her energy is contagious. She does everything in her power to ensure that kids get what they need! We are so fortunate to call her part of the family here at Gabilan!

Interact Tutoring (LCAP Goal 2):
This week, Interact Tutoring Club from SHS joined us with their advisor, Trustee Ibarra Mora to discuss the rollout of our new tutoring opportunity. Teachers met our SHS students and were able to ask questions about the program. We look forward to beginning this opportunity!
School Site Council & ELAC (LCAP Goal 4):
This week we held SSC and ELAC meetings. They were really well attended by our families! In SSC, we approved our annual safety plan. In ELAC we were able to have some impactful discussions about reclassification!
100th Day of School (LCAP Goal 2):
This past week, we celebrated the 100th day of school! It’s amazing that it has already been 100 days! Lower grade students celebrated in a variety of ways with all things 100 related! It was fun to see how excited the students were about the various math activities!
