My name is Vera Trapp, and this is my 18th school year teaching children with special needs. I graduated from SFASU. I started my teaching career in Houston, TX for Klein ISD teaching early childhood thru 5th grade. Since being in Lufkin, I have been one of the Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) teachers. I have helped educate and improve the life skills of children ages 3 - 8 years old.
I'm an East Texas gal born and raised. I love hiking, walking and exploring through the woods, camping, going to the beach, traveling and being a Dog Momma to my Boxers, Dallas& Stella.
