Michele Melligan, Franklin Elementary School Counselor

As our school counselor, Michele Melligan plays an integral role in our Franklin community. Michele always acts in a professional, calm, and friendly manner with students, staff, and families. She engages in constant professional communication, is willing to provide guidance and tips, and goes out of her way to make sure daily needs are being met. Whenever assistance is needed, Michele is there to help. She is accommodating, thoughtful, and always has a smile on her face. Michele pushes into classrooms monthly to work with students on life skills. This school year, she’s been visiting classrooms daily, to assist with “Mindful Minutes.” During “Mindful Minute” classroom activities, students and staff are able to take a quick break to breathe and set their daily intentions. Michele’s also been an asset when helping teachers implement daily peace circles. We thank Michele for being such a compassionate, dedicated, and caring staff member.
