Hey Tiger Team!

 

I’m so excited to be your new counselor for all 7th-grade scholars and 6th-grade Tiger Cubs (last names M-Z). Though I’m new to MLK, I’ve been in education for 26 years, with 12 of those as a school counselor.

 

This year, my theme is "DREAM BIG." We’ll be talking about aiming high, setting goals, and seeing obstacles as challenges we can overcome with the right tools and effort.

 

I’m a lifelong learner and have attended nine colleges in Illinois, Alabama, Arizona, and California. I have degrees from Illinois State University, the University of West Alabama, and the University of Phoenix, plus a certificate in “Bullying Prevention in Our Schools” from the University of San Diego.

 

I’m a huge musical theatre fan and hope to share my love for it by starting a drama club and maybe even a glee club here at MLK. I love traveling (mostly to see musicals), reading (mostly about musicals), and learning anything I can (often in musicals). Are you seeing a pattern here?

 

I’ll be working closely with Mrs. Raynor-Jones to learn the ropes and gather resources that will be helpful for both students and parents.

 

Feel free to email me if you need anything!

 

Can’t wait to get started, 

Ms. Jodi Disario
