1. “This year it has been difficult to find 1:1 paraprofessionals for a couple of our students. Because of this shortage, some of our paraprofessionals have stepped up and they demonstrated the DPS Core Values of Students First, Collaboration, and Fun. The students' needs would not have been met if the following paraprofessionals had not assisted until the new hires were made: Amber Egner, Amal Mursal, Lachlan O'Brien, Silvia Silvia-Gallegos, and Aurora Solis.” -- Wayne Gerke, Holm
