NAME: "Bea" Clara McLin

TITLE: Paraprofessional at Sherwood Forest Elementary School

YEARS WITH NPS: 12

WHAT’S THE MOST REWARDING THING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?

One of the most rewarding things I enjoy about my position is being able to help the kids and see how excited they are when they actually achieve something that they have been struggling with.

IF YOU COULD TELL THE WHOLE COMMUNITY ONE THING ABOUT NPS, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I would tell the community that NPS offers a valuable education, and it is worthwhile for parents and the community to get involved with their children's schools.

WHAT’S SOMETHING YOUR COWORKERS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Something coworkers don’t know about me: I enjoy riding four wheelers and dirt bikes.

WHAT WAS A RECENT BOOK YOU READ OR MOVIE YOU SAW, AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS? 

The last book I read was one that I read many, many years ago, and I saw it on a book shelf in one of the classrooms: “The Secret Garden.” I enjoyed reading it all over again, and remembering how great the book was at making you feel like you were right there in the Secret Garden!

DID YOU ATTEND NORFOLK PUBLIC SCHOOLS?

I attended elementary school right here at Sherwood Forest!
