About Mrs. Sugarman

   I'm Lori Sugarman, Jamestown Elementary's new school counselor this year.  I am happy to be back in my hometown of Greensboro where I went to Claxton, Kiser, Grimsley, Guilford College and UNCG.   

   So proud of my three children, now all in their 30's, who live in Atlanta.  I like to say I survived teenagehood 3 times.  You will too!

   For the past 15 years, prior to this year's move to NC,  I've maintained a private pediatric counseling practice to help children overcome poor self-attitudes, high levels of anxiety, and habits that interfere with productive growth.  I feel grateful for the opportunity to work with about 400 students a week at Jamestown Elementary and openly discuss areas of social and emotional development.

   For fun I love to draw, illustrate, write poems and write children's short stories.  We draw a lot in guidance class because many students say, "I can't."  It reinforces that  practice builds skill  along with the practice of saying "I can" or "I can learn" or "I can become better at anything with practice." 

   I love sports, basketball, tennis, biking, yoga, hiking and soccer.  My mother, Barbara Blum, is in the NC Soccer Hall of Fame for bringing youth soccer to NC in the 70's before a soccer field existed.  She taught me if something doesn't exist for your children, make it happen.
