Amy Luna was one of three students to win the READ 180 Stage B (Middle School) Award Nationwide. After she made it past the qualifying round we were feeling very competitive. For the finalist round, we made a video and she did a lot of work outside of class to prepare all the materials for submission.
She won $1200 dollars for her first year of college. The school won $1000 worth of READ 180 materials for the classroom.
Amy has a inspiring story. Amy has a passion to become a special education teacher. When we went on our field trip to Enger (a school for developmentally disabled students), the teachers wanted to hire her. She has volunteered her recess and lunch to manage Hester Coffee Crew student sales. In helping with the coffee crew she has inquired and researched how to work with students with Autism. She learned how to use Boardmaker so she could use it as an artifact for her Career Project. She is an ambassador, boys soccer manager, on student council, and now a National Winner for READ 180! Nice Work Amy!
