Hello! My name is Maria Hobbs.  I am the counselor here at Willard Central Elementary.  My day consists of teaching guidance lessons to classrooms,  counseling individual students, as well as dealing with various situations that may arise.   When I am in the classrooms I cover a variety of topics such as understanding and accepting ourselves, understanding and accepting others, career awareness, and educational planning and development.  These are the content areas that are required by the Missouri Comprehensive Guidance Program.
I also counsel individuals or groups of students on a variety of issues such as divorce, friendship and social skills, self-esteem, etc...  Recommendation for counseling comes through parents, teachers, and students.  If you or your child have questions or concerns feel free to contact me at the number on the left.
It is my belief that children learn best when they feel safe and comfortable with themselves.  Through these classroom lessons and individual sessions I am able to address the intellectual, emotional, social, and psychological needs of students.   It is my goal to be a resource for students, parents, teachers, and staff. 


At Willard Central we have a "Word of the Month".  This month's word is addressed at community time through instruction, drama, and song.  Students who are caught demonstrating the word of the month are given a star to place on our banner. Words of the month that will be covered include respect, cooperation, caring, responsibility, and empathy.
