Teacher Assistant of the Year 2020-2021
Kindness and a dedication to your students in whatever capacity they are in. You work to strive for improvement for the students that are adaptive and self-container. My time with special needs children taught me that no matter how hard you think your day is, you look to these children are realize what a real hero looks like. They work through every problem with a smile on their faces and at the end of the year if they mastered one object it was a win-win for the students, the teachers and the school.
