Mrs. Pamela Cain, Thomas special educational paraprofessional, earned the recognition as the Educator of the Year from the Flagstaff Disability Awareness Commission.   Mrs. Cain has worked with small groups of special education elementary students with a wide variety of abilities and interests and needs at Thomas and Christensen Elementary school for 14 years.  

From her nomination letter, "She puts thoughtful effort into reading, writing, and math lessons, and she is always prepared.  Pam works long hours and often goes the extra mile.   She helps the students feel confident and offers calm and patient support for each of them, even in the most trying situations.  Students relate very well to her and trust her.  The respect she shows towards them is reflected in the respect they show toward her." 

We couldn't agree more! Pam is an exceptional educator and epitomizes the recognition as Educator of the Year.  Congratulations!
