Wadena-Deer Creek School District is recognizing their paraprofessionals this week as part of "Paraprofessional Recognition Week," Jan. 11-15, proclaimed by Gov. Mark Dayton.
Paraprofessionals (also referred to as education assistants) are an integral part of WDC's school system. They are important to the vitality of our schools and our communities. Our schools thrive in large part because of the strong connections our paras make with our students.
Paraprofessionals are individuals who work in a variety of positions in the classrooms, playgrounds, school buses, one-on-one tutoring and more.
WDC paras include:
Daneen Aldrich, Jackie Becker, Bobbie Bullard, Ellen Carlstrom, Kathie Davis, Melissa Dosdall, Sharon Folkestad, Joan Hanson, Roxanne Havnes, Chris Jelinek, Holly Johnson, Connie Klebs, Ed Lewis, Alycia Mallak, Sharol Mason, Wendy Porter, Sue Scheiding, Randi Schmitz, Brittani Schwartz, Sarah Smith, Erica Snyder, Kim Stafki, Heidi Wolff, Deb Wright, Alicia Wynn, Mary Wynn, Jan Bernu, Sara Carpenter, Betsy Cason, Tracy Dreger, Jill Felt, Ann Getchell, Sunshine Gilbert, Nicole Hall, Ginny Haman, Diane Hannuksela, Kim Heisler, Jordan Heisler, Martha Holt, Sarah Ikola, Jayne Johnson, Jan Jacobson, Sherri Kaufman, Joanne Kern, Jane Malone, Ashley Mumm, Christi Nelson, Crystal Olson, Whitney Peterson, Elsie Schmidt, Lora Schmitz, Michelle Sundby, Jessica Tabatt, Julie Taggart, Kate Waln, Amy Yglesias and Laura Zeise.
