It’s Staff Spotlight Day. This week we spotlight Mrs. Monroe. Mrs. Monroe is a Paraprofessional in our high school. She goes above and beyond to help all of our student and staff members alike. She always has a smile and hello for all. Her great sense of humor and hard work make her a big asset to every room she is in. We are blessed to have Mrs. Monroe in our Pirate family. Thank you for all you do for us.
Bio:
I am a paraprofessional /one on one for the high school. My job consists of helping the students that I am in the classroom with. I help where I need to help. I also help the high school Intervention Specialists or the teachers.
I have been with Riverside for 11 years now. I began my journey in the middle school with the 5th/6th graders, then to the elementary side with the 2nd/3rd graders. I also spent one year in the middle school with the 8th graders, and now I have spent the last 5 years in the high school.
My family includes my husband, Beau, we have been married for 23 years. We have three children. Amber, is an Intervention Specialist at Triad. Jarrett just got out of the Marine Corps in September and is employed as a Diesel Mechanic. Paige is in her second year of college at Kent State University, Studying Law. I also have a Belgian Malinois, Zeke who is 3 years old, and a German Shepard/ Malionis, Stella who is 2 years old.
I love to craft! Lately, my second hobby is my Blue Star Mothers of America group. We are a group of mothers with active or Veteran military members. As a group, we support the deployed servicemen and women with care packages, which consist of items they may need while overseas. We are a fun group of ladies who love and support our military as well as each other! In October of 2023, I was elected to the Department of Ohio Blue Star Mothers as the recording secretary.
My favorite holiday is Halloween, which is weird because I’m scared of everything. I think I enjoyed the scare. My second favorite holiday is Christmas, I enjoy the time spent with family and friends. My favorite food is spaghetti or anything with pasta.
Riverside hands down is a family! We have the best coworkers here. I have been in many places in our school and it is straight across the board with the support not only for our students but our staff as well. I have many coworkers that I am friends with outside of school.
I have seen our school go through many changes over the years, one thing that never changes is the love and support for our students as well as our staff, this forever continues to grow. Riverside is one big family. I love how supportive and caring we are here at Riverside.
