Over the course of my time at Frost, I’ve come to realize just how much of an impact our incredible school counselor, Ms. Sandoval has made on students, including my own two children who are current and past students of Robert Frost. One thing I admire most about Ms. Sandoval is how she makes it clear that student’s concerns are valid no matter how big or small. Her open-minded and judgment free approach has created a positive environment where students feel safe and comfortable reaching out for help when they need it most. She is compassionate, empathetic, has great patience, and is committed to supporting our student's well-being. Ms. Sandoval is a vital part of our school community, and I’m extremely grateful for the support and care she offers students and staff. Our school is incredibly fortunate to have her!
