While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

About your counselor
My name is Amy Wight and this is my 9th year as the full-time counselor at K.E.S. I grew up in Virginia Beach and graduated from Frank W. Cox High School, where I first met my husband, Gary. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from George Mason University and a Master of Science in Education in Counseling from Old Dominion University. I am certified as a K-12 school counselor. I love working at the elementary level! I believe that all children need to feel a sense of belonging. I believe all children need to feel listened to and valued. I also think that all children need to know that someone believes in them! I have found that for some students just knowing they have ONE friend or supporter helps them find the road to success and motivates them to live up to their potential.
My husband, Gary and I, spend our time outside of work staying very busy with our three-year old twin boys, Parker and Garrison! We are looking forward to adding another baby to our family in 2009!
