| Ms. Julie Healey & Mr. Ryan Richards |
Mr. Ryan Richards was recently hired as a special education paraprofessional. He has a Bachelor's Degree from Westfield State College and is working toward certification as a teacher. The interview team was impressed with his professionalism and enthusiasm. "I love working with kids- this is a great opportunity!" Mr. Richards is also passionate about sports; he coaches lacrosse, soccer, and wrestling at Whittier Technical School.
Ms. Julie Healey also joined us this year as a special education teacher. Ms. Healey began her career as a kindergarten paraprofessional and then worked for several years as a special education teacher in Haverhill. She is currently enrolled in a Master's Degree Program at Rivier College, with a concentration in special education and autism. You may notice her in the hallways wearing stripe socks, snapping her fingers, and telling kids to 'walk with swag' as a motivational incentive. She has brought a fun, creative energy to the Sweetsir School team!
