I transferred from the Jewell Schools at the beginning of this school year because of the closing of the Jewell Schools.  This is my 12th year as a Special Ed. Para.  I am working with the 5th and 6th graders this year.  It has been quite a change from the Jewell Schools, but I am enjoying my new assignment.  I live on a farm northwest of Beloit.  We have four grown children and seven grandchildren which keep us very busy besides farming and my work as a para.  Right now my family is my hobby.
