My name is Kendra. I am in the process of completing my Certification as an EA, and I am currently a School District Noon Hour Supervisor. I am a mother of 3 fantastic kids (10,8,5) and a fearless Pioneer Girls leader at Winfield Community Church.
I am passionate about supporting students, not only with designated special needs, but undesignated as well. I have a genuine love for life and I would say the most amazing feeling in my life, is watching a student recognize that they can do anything!
I am offering respite during the months of July and August, with a focus on developing friendship skills as well as self awareness. Adventure based learning is my strength.
Please feel free to contact me by email. Looking forward to hearing from you!
