On this Special Education Day, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions of our Special Education staff. Each and every one of you plays an essential role in shaping the lives of our students, and we are deeply grateful for the dedication, passion, and care you bring to your work.
To Alyce Williams and Marlene Holley, our outstanding SPED teachers, thank you for your unwavering commitment to providing our students with the tools and support they need to thrive. Your creativity in the classroom, ability to meet each student’s individual needs, and your advocacy for their success are truly inspiring. You not only teach, but you empower students to overcome challenges and achieve more than they thought possible.
To our wonderful paraprofessionals, Karen Barrios, Danita Buchman, Bertha Russell, Pamela Rosales, and Mindy Morris, your support and care make all the difference. You bring so much heart to your work, offering patience, encouragement, and personalized attention that allow students to grow academically and socially. Your dedication behind the scenes — whether assisting in the classroom, implementing interventions, or providing emotional support — is crucial to our students' success.
Together, all of you form an incredible team whose collective efforts help create a learning environment where every child can thrive. The impact you make is immeasurable, and today, we want to make sure you know how deeply appreciated you are.
Thank you for everything you do, for your tireless work, and for your unshakeable belief in our students' potential. You are truly making a difference in their lives, and in the life of our school community.
