Kaitlyn is the greatest person I know. She is the most thoughtful, caring, considerate, intentional person, and she utilizes all those characteristics into how she loves and supports her students. Her determination and commitment to showing up for her kids everyday is matched by none. And already she has made such an incredible impact on so many lives. She is adored by her students and respected by her fellow staff members. She embodies all that it means to be a school counselor. She is changing lives on a daily basis and showing honest love, care, patience, and understanding while doing it. She is a true life changer.

This award was meant for Kaitlyn! Not only is she a phenomenal school counselor but she is also an amazing human being! I’ve had the privilege of working with her for over a year now. She has helped me both as a professional colleague but has been a great source of support for both of my kids as they navigate/navigated the end of their elementary journey. I can think of no one more deserving! Kaitlyn Johnson is magical!

My sweet friend and colleague was nominated for the Life Changer of the Year Award! Kaitlyn goes above and beyond to serve our students and has the amazing ability to know their needs. Her dedication to her profession and want to help create a safe environment for our kiddos really makes a difference. VFE is beyond lucky to have such a caring and empathetic Councelor who without a doubt does more than asked of her.
