Patrick is a paraprofessional and Reading Rescue program coordinator at P.S./I.S. 54 in the Bronx. We visited him at school to hear about his work as a program coordinator, instructor, and all-around education leader in his community.

Jessica Alestra is a passionate first year Reading Rescue instructor at P.S. 69 in Jackson Heights, Queens. We are excited to introduce you to her here, and in our Instagram story. Jessica has recently returned to school to become a teacher, as is the case with both of her two Reading Rescue instructor colleagues. She loves being a paraprofessional and is confident that her classroom experience will make her a better teacher.

Congratulations to the first 2018-2019 Instructor of the Month SASHA GARCIA! Sasha is a paraprofessional at P.S. 106 in Brooklyn in her third year as a Reading Rescue instructor.
