Meagan Odom, Mychal Riley Marlette gave you a shoutout!
"Meagan goes above and beyond to help us all any way she can! Many times, we don't even have to ask, she just knows! She is a check in/check out buddy with one of my students everyday despite her busy schedule and workload. I also see her doing similar things for many students in our school. Not to mention, she is a wealth of knowledge, a smiling face, and we are so blessed to have her in Cook County and at CPS!!! Thank you for all you do! "
Carol Waites, Jodi Robbins gave you a shoutout! "Carol is the best! I'm thankful she keeps us all in line!"

A Message from McElrath:
Just recently I had the privilege of learning about a fabulous young lady named Kelsey Norris. Kelsey has a very interesting story. She was adopted from an orphanage in Russia by a lady from Georgia. Her new mom knew that Kesley was born with many challenges. The doctors informed her mom that Kelsey had autism and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (a condition that makes a person smaller than normal). In spite of all of these challenges, Kelsey, now a junior at Veterans High School in Kathleen Georgia, has become a published author, speaker, special olympic medalist, and beauty queen!. She is the perfect example of the things that our students with disabilities can achieve when they have a strong support system. I would encourage you to take a look at Kelsey’s facebook page “Kelsey Norris - Special Needs Means Special Abilities.” You will be blessed!
