Meet The Counselor

Hello!  My name is Mrs. Deal.  I am thrilled to be joining Prairie Valley Elementary this fall as the guidance counselor!

Currently I live in Ames with my husband, Rob, and our two furry friends, Grady and Oakley.  It is perfect that we live in Cyclone Nation because I am so proud to be a fan of the Iowa State Cyclones.  This spring we planted a vegetable garden in our backyard.  It has been fun watching the tomatoes and cucumbers grow quickly.  We may even have a few watermelons ready for picking this fall.  Recently we used our cabbage to make cole slaw and began a batch of sauerkraut.  It is rewarding to see our hardwork being made into delicious food we can enjoy!  I also enjoy home improvement projects and photographing nature.

The school year is quickly approaching.  It is fun for me to begin preparing the guidance counseling office for the upcoming year.  I look forward to meeting your smiling faces and learning each of your names!

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, comments, or concerns. My email address is dealk@prairievalley.k12.ia.us. The elementary office can be reached at (515)467-5700.
