🐾✨ Let's give a warm welcome to Ms. Colleen France, our new School Psychologist at Preston Elementary!
With a Bachelor's in Psychology and both a Master's and Certificate of Advanced Study in School Psychology from Towson University, Ms. France brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our school. After completing her internship at LMS in Caroline County, this is her first year as a full-fledged school psychologist, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her!
Ms. France was inspired to become a school psychologist to serve those in our community who might not otherwise have access to mental health services.
She plans to support our students' mental health with compassion and empathy, making sure every student feels seen, heard, and understood.
Outside of work, Ms. France loves traveling to faraway places (she visited Nova Scotia and Morocco this summer), doing jigsaw puzzles, taking day trips, crafting, and ticking off her bucket list (and adding new items!). And here's a fun fact: she was a pastry chef for 20 years before becoming a school psychologist!
Her message to our school community: "My door is always open. My shoulders are strong. My ears are always ready to listen. My heart is always full of love ready to share."
Welcome to the Preston family, Ms. France! We’re thrilled to have you with us! 🐾✨ #PESPantherpride
