My name is Anita Lahners and I am the social worker at McKinley Elementary and Jr. High. 



I have worked in this district for 22 years.  I provide support to any student who expresses a need or requests help.  Common areas of support include: conflict resolution, problem solving, peer interaction skills,organizational skills, emotional functioning, and crisis intervention.  I teach lessons in the fall to all 4th and 5th grade classes with regards to bullying prevention and personal safety.  Feel free to contact me at (708) 339-8500 ext. 23
