WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELING OFFICE!
I'm Lauren Peyton and I am thrilled to be the full-time counselor at Marblehead Elementary!
I'm here to ensure every student at our school feels valued, heard, and ready to shine! With a passion for creating a supportive environment where equity and opportunity thrive, I'm dedicated to helping our young learners navigate their emotions, build strong friendships, and become problem-solving superheroes.
I bring a dash of humor and creativity to my role here at Marblehead. With a background in comedy and acting, I believe in infusing our counseling program with laughter, imagination, and friendships.
From teaching cool tricks for handling big feelings to fostering kindness and respect in every interaction, I'm committed to making our school a place where everyone feels valued and included. Whether it's finding creative solutions to tricky problems or celebrating each child's unique talents, I'm on a mission to make our school community the happiest place to learn and grow!
Let's embark on this journey together, where every day brings smiles, laughter, and meaningful connections!
