In 2008, the 3 students qualified for Special Olympics. Carrie Tibben (high school special education teacher) was their official coach. We loaded up the bus with our athletes, the other special education students, and several other high school students and headed off for a fun filled day in Indianola. It was a spectacular day! The support from all the students, associates and teachers was amazing and has made a tremendous impact on those 3 boys.

2009-2010 To help meet the needs of the students in my room, I've enlisted the help of some high school students. Amanda Burgin, Aaron Roberts, Luis Cerrillo, and Dylan Nielsen have been awesome! They have built such a wonderful relationship with the students. From working on modifications, helping administer ITBS tests, all the way to just building socialization skills through games, these 4 students have not only helped shape the middle school students they work with, they have helped me to strive to always do what is best for the kids and not just what is easiest. May they graduate from high school knowing they have made a huge difference in the lives of all in this room.
