Counselor Update from Mrs. Marshall
Eight years ago I moved to the high school, and my first seniors were the kindergarten class when I started at Condon. I Saw their first day in school and their last as St. Helens students. It was fun to reconnect with them and watch them watch across the stage at graduation, so grown up.
I feel privileged to live and serve in our community. On my way to work, I pass your children waiting for the bus; we see each other at summer events and at the grocery store. Over the years, we have celebrated graduations, weddings, and births, and grieved loss together. We are neighbors and friends. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it and thank you for welcoming me so warmly to the McBride family.
