Shoreline Schools All Staff Appreciation Week - Shirley Goudard-Reyes

"As an MLL Paraeducator, I have the privilege of working with a wonderful community. As a former MLL student myself, I deeply relate to the challenges and triumphs my students face as they navigate a new language and culture.

My favorite part of this work is getting to know each student individually; witnessing them find their unique voice, grow in self-assurance, and transition into independent, confident learners and it fills me with hope. I am truly proud of being part of an inclusive community and to cultivate a future where every student’s heritage is celebrated as a strength."

- Shirley Goudard-Reyes, MLL Paraeducator, Einstein Middle School and Shorewood High School

Shorewood Assistant Principal Melyssa Stone shares, "Shirley is an incredible resource for students and families, and an all-around rockstar. Her work supporting our multilingual learners, advocating and co-planning with teachers on accessible instruction, and the relationships she builds with our Shorewood community have made an immense difference in supporting student success. She is helping change the landscape of MLL instruction for the better, and we're so grateful to have her at Shorewood!"

We are celebrating All-Staff Appreciation Week in Shoreline Schools. Please join us in thanking them for all that they do for our students!
