Hello Lemonwood Families, Students, and Friends.
Welcome to Mrs. Lara School Counseling Website! I am the school counselor for Lemonwood School. I have the joy of working with students through classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, and individual counseling. I also collaborate with school staff and parents in order to best meet the needs of students.
