Excellent Educators Day is presented by Loyalist College.
After many years of service, Patti Garrett is retiring as an educational assistant from J.J. O’Neill Catholic School here in Greater Napanee.
Garrett first started with the Catholic board in 1998.
She was very inspired by trying to find different strategies that help to work with children that may have academic struggles.
Being an EA is very rewarding she added, being able to see that the different strategies they input on the students are starting to work and how the children’s faces light up because they can’t believe they just did that.
To hear her complete story, listen to the link below.
