Montesano

Summary



My past work experience in the field of physical therapy, including working with students and youngsters both in and out of the clinic, has provided me with a broad base of skills that translate to those skills necessary to successfully facilitate the educational process of today's students.

During the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years I have volunteered at at Montesano Junior High School with the primary purpose of facilitating the eduction of my special needs grandson. Over time I have assisted other special needs students at the same time and this has greatly enhanced my grandson's education and I believe it has been helpful to the other students as well.

I am committed to facilitating my grandson's education and any others that may benefit. I have proven that I am reliable and dependent over the last two years.

I desire to obtain some type of official status with Montesano Jr. Sr. High School vs. volunteer status. This would help to establish my place as a member of the staff and make for more effective communication between me, staff and students.

I am hoping for part time employment as a paraeducator or emergency teacher certification status. I have no expectations for minimum hours or pay.

Thank you for your consideration and thank you for the privilege of working with the students of MSD over many many years.
