March Madness


March is going to be a whirlwind of exciting opportunities!  First, I am so excited to share that I will be presenting at the Kentucky School Counseling Association Conference March 5-7.  I will be doing a pre-conference workshop about how to implement the Leader In Me into the Guidance Curriculum. I will be sharing lesson plan ideas, curriculum alignment with the LIM and much more.   In addition, my school W.R McNeill Elementary, will be serving as a host school at this year's Leader In Me Symposium on March 4.  We are excited to share our school's success and showcase our student's leadership abilities.  As if these great Honors weren't enough, our Lighthouse Team will be presenting at the Symposium as well.  March 5, we will be providing a break out session titled: How to integrate the LIM seamlessly into your school.  It truly has been so seamless, that we just want to be able to share this awesome initiative with everyone!  If you haven't registered for the Symposium, you can do so at http://www.theleaderinme.org/events/symposium

About Me

My name is Gina Crabtree.  I am the proud wife of Nathan Crabtree and a mom to two daughters, Natalie (20) and Allison (16).  I believe that if you do what you love it's never really work.  Well,  I ❤ My job!  I am a School Counselor at W.R. McNeill Elementary School.  I have had the privilege of working here as the School Counselor for almost 15 years.  When I became a School Counselor, I had NO IDEA where to start.  I felt so alone, until I stumbled across some amazing school counseling blogs. These ladies were so helpful and inspiring, and really help set the pathway for me to become the counselor I am today.  That is why, almost 10 years ago, I started my own blog.   My goal is to be a resource for any counselor struggling to find their voice, advocate for themselves, and develop lessons that are engaging to children. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for anything you might need to help build your program into all  i...
