This week is American School Counselor Appreciation Week! Ashland School District has many talented and dedicated behavioral health specialists. Please take a moment to recognize and get to know the two fantastic people working here at Walker Elementary School!
Brooke Thygeson-Johnson: Child Development Specialist
Brooke grew up in Ashland and attended Briscoe, AMS and AHS. She has extensive experience as an elementary school counselor and recently returned after living and working in Katar for the past six years. She is now excited to make Walker her home. She delights in her opportunities to work with children individually, in groups and through whole class instruction. She sees these early years as critical to building a strong foundation of strengths and resilience.
Kate Sullivan: Student Advocate
This is Kate’s 8thth year at Walker. Given her experience, Kate has an invaluable knowledge of all things Walker. Despite the changes of the Walker campus this year (now housed at Walker Village), she is consistently enthusiastic and eager to learn more and collaborate. She oversees the backpack program and supervises at every recess. She is so busy supporting all students!

A year ago, we all experienced and witnessed how wide-spread community service can unite, mend, and restore hope. An ASD parent has initiated an inspiring and uplifting effort to make September 8 a day of community connection and care. Please join in this effort and make this day and many more full of gestures of kindness that ripple across our community and beyond.
