COUNSELOR CORNER MR. NICHOLAS CAMPESTRE

My name is Nick Campestre, also known as Mr. C. I have had the privilege of serving the Teaneck Community as coordinator of the FORUM (Forging, Opportunity for Reasoning, Understanding and Maturity) School Based Youth Services Program for the past 16 years. When I came to Teaneck High School in 2005, I was searching for a professional home that would give me the opportunity to help empower students to help them grow emotionally and academically. I was drawn to the Castle on the Hill’s student' first atmosphere and tradition of innovative support services.

I believe what makes Teaneck so special is the people that live and work here. It is truly a special place with valued traditions, and has provided me with relationships that will last a lifetime. I know that my experience here has made me a better social worker but even more importantly, a better person. I want to take this opportunity to thank the students, parents and the many professionals I have worked with, for allowing me to participate in their journey. I am and will forever be grateful.

COUNSELOR CORNER ~ MEET MS. ADRIENNE WILLIAMS

Hello Teaneck Family!	My name is Adrienne Williams and I am the District Student Assistant and HIB Coordinator.	I Truly Bleed The Blue and The White!	I have been employed for 19 years in the school district.	Each year, I look forward to providing     opportunities     to	create	meaningful experiences for our students and families.

My role in the district is to create a safe learning environment for the school community. I work with eight building Principals and staff as well as students during the year. I facilitate assemblies, workshops, leadership trips and develop programs to maintain a safe and healthy lifestyle for all grade levels.

One of the most amazing aspects about my job is, I have the ability to work with a student and their family from K-12.	My role provides a sense of stability and continuity. Students and families can always see a familiar face as they transition through the school district. What an amazing job and school community to be a part of.

Studio 2B is a non-traditional Girl Scout Troop sponsored by the FORUM. The group was brought to Teaneck High School in 1998 by Javalda Powel and provides young women with an opportunity to get together, learn from each other, share experiences and give back to the community. Every year members of Studio 2B perform hundreds of hours of community service, grow as young adults and have a great time doing it! What makes Studio 2B a non-traditional Girl Scout Troop is that the members are not required to register with Girl Scouts and they don’t wear uniforms. Members do follow the Girl Scout Journey Books and also sell Girl Scout Cookies!

Studio 2B meets Thursdays at 3:30pm via Google Meets. For more information please contact Ms. Acevedo at: yacevedo@teaneck schools.org or Ms. Hidalgo at: ghidalgo@teaneckschools.org
