About Mrs. Connolly
Hi! I’m Mrs. Connolly. This is my ninth year at Saints Peter and Paul Elementary School. Looking back to last year, we had a great year in guidance. I love being a school counselor because I really enjoy working with children, teachers and families. It's important to learn how to get along with others, and to understand how to make good choices and solve problems. Small groups will be offered in the Fall and Spring on topics such as self-esteem, friendship, dealing with anger, and study skills.
