Community Volunteers

Michael Tarabilda, a local poet, gardener and naturalist writes  stories for us.  He includes, as characters, several of the children from our class.  He works with us three times a week or more, helping the children write their own ideas.  The children delight in his genuine interest and fondness for them and he, in turn says, "Every day I work with them is like Christmas!"  We are so lucky to be enjoying all he has to offer us,  Year 7!

Mrs. Judy Wilcox, our faithful classroom supporter and retired teacher,  fills many roles in the first grade.  She works with children helping them in math, writing, letter formation, reading, singing and giving words of encouragement. She even helps us tidy the room.  We have a much happier room because of her perceptive attention! Year 6!

Mr. Bill Scarborough, a local business man, helps us weekly with special projects, Family Read and mentoring.  He adds humor and joy to the process of working in the classroom, gives great support to me, and offers one on one time to the children.  Year 5!
