She went above and beyond today to help a student get her hearing aids fixed when her day was tight with meetings and on top of that took the time to check in with her mental and emotional state, knowing she has had a rough week. She took the time to encourage this girl and explain some of her challenges to her. Laura truly cares about her students and her job and is a pleasure to work with.
- Bethany Miklik
Haley Lee & Carly Bachar
During a situation, Haley and Carly reacted quickly and calmly to make sure our students were safe and accounted for while I responded off campus. They did an excellent job making sure that everything ran smoothly, as they do every day in every situation. I am incredibly thankful to have such awesome paraprofessionals!

Christy jumped in to help me with a cut finger and was so kind as the kids were no longer at school! She is always one I can ask questions and she steps in when needed in our classroom! She goes above and beyond to help and even explain things we may not understand!

Khylee stepped in and helped without any hesitation when I needed an extra set of hands during a stressful moment. I appreciate her going out of her way to make sure the students were settled and good to go!

Jazmene Daughtry
Jazmene is new to our school this year and is still getting to know each of the students. During bus duty, she came to my room to get one of the students. Since she was not familiar with that student, she asked me questions about the student to make sure she knew how to safely take them to the bus. With the varying needs of our students, I was impressed that Jazmene took the time to get information about them to make bus duty run smoothly! She is going to be a great asset to Schramm!
- Johnica Tucker
