Congratulations to Crisis Resource Teacher Kelsey Christian on her recognition as the FCPS 2023 Region 5 Outstanding School-Based Professional Employee at this year's FCPS Honors event, held at George Mason University Center for the Arts on June 14th.

As the crisis resource teacher in a comprehensive service site program, Kelsey strives to make school a safe and nurturing environment for all students. She works tirelessly every day to learn the unique needs of her students and provide them with the tools necessary to feel successful in school. From soccer games on the field to reading books on the beanbag chairs to lending a helping hand during a fraction’s unit, Kelsey supports the staff and students with the proactive and reactive strategies needed for each school day. She collaborates with the classroom staff, administration, clinical supports, families, and the student to ensure every child feels they have a place at school!
