A Little About Mrs. Butler

I have had the honor of being Firgrove's school counselor since the 2018-2019 school year. Many of you may know me as Ms. Buol, but in 2021, I changed my name after getting married.

As a school counselor, I am here to support Firgrove students, staff, and families within the Firgrove Community. Some of the ways I provide direct support to students include: classroom lessons, small social-emotional groups, and individual meetings and check-ins. Other ways I support students and families include: acting as the 504 case manager, connecting families to outside resources, and much more!

In addition to serving as Firgrove's school counselor, I am the Elementary Vice President on the Washington School Counselor Association (WSCA) Board where I work to advocate for school counselors across the state.

No matter how briefly a student may work with me, I want to make sure they know they are valued.
