Counselor's Corner

Hello!

Hello!

This is Kelly Myers and Rebecca Wu and we are the school counselors at BAMS! We are absolutely thrilled to be here and excited to walk alongside our students and families through this crazy thing called life. 
 
Our role is to help support the needs of our students and families during these ever changing times. We believe in creating an environment that fosters developmentally appropriate practices to help each student reach social, emotional, and academic competencies. We value inclusion, resiliency, and individual self-confidence, allowing each student the exploration to grow into confident and mature citizens.
