Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
My name is Kristin Yake and I am so excited to begin my first year as the Professional School Counselor at Silbernagel Elementary School!
I began my career in education as a teacher in 2007 and have had the privilege of teaching first, second, and fourth grades in the classroom and have taught physical education pre-k through eighth grade.
Education:
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Criminology
University of Southern Maine
Master of Education in Counseling and Development School Counseling

What do we do in school counseling?
Pre-kindergarten through third grade will receive monthly lessons covering topics such as bullying, character, kindness, self-regulation, conflict resolution, and career exploration. We will utilize a district curriculum to teach and meet your child where they are developmentally while providing the tools for their academic success!
Counseling Newsletter
Be on the lookout for our monthly counseling newsletter! More information to come!
I will continue to meet our students' needs through classroom lessons, small groups and individual counseling.
