Counselors Corner

Savannah Meadows - Rigdon Road Elementary School

ABOUT
Mrs. Meadows
I recently obtained my Masters in School Counseling from Liberty University and this will be my 1st year as a School Counselor. I am so excited to pour into the families and children at Rigdon Road! Previous to this position I served as a preschool teacher assistant for three years and have developed such a love for elementary age students. I cannot wait to see what this year holds!

I am a major social butterfly who loves to read books, attend church, and spend time with my family. My family currently consists of my husband Jackson, we have been married for 5 years but together for 12, and our sweet dog Piper. However, I am ecstatic to announce that our sweet family is growing and we will be welcoming our first baby early February!

Advocating and helping children has always been a passion of mine and as a School Counselor I am here to assist in anyway I can. Please feel free to contact me with any needs or concerns!
