Hey there!

My name is Brianne LaVerdiere and I couldn’t be more excited to be a Grizzly! Here are a few things I want you to know about me:

  1. Even though I am new to STMS, this year, I am not new to School Counseling. I was a School Counselor at Chinook Middle School down in Lacey, WA for 5 years before I transferred to Sumner High School in Sumner, WA for the last 3 years. So, if you are keeping count I have been a School Counselor for 8 years now! Goodness! How time flies when you’re having fun!
  2. I love spending time with my family! We go camping, watch the Seahawks, make dinners together and just hangout (from a distance now with COVID). If you think I look a lot like someone in the building you are not wrong. Ms. Vannice is my sister! I’m excited to get to work with her.
  3. I’m getting married! Summer of 2021 to be exact. Next school year I will have a different last name that will be much easier to pronounce. Here is how you pronounce my current last name: La.Ver.dee.er. I know, it’s a doozy!  I look forward to learning all of your names too!
  4. I have one cat who is extremely sassy and naughty! Her name is Gertrude and I love to share her funny and naughty stories. I hope to hear your funny or naughty pet stories too!
I am so excited to get to know all of you! I wish it were in person but via Zoom, email and phone will have to do for now. Please reach out if you need anything!
