At Thomas Elementary, we have three FANTASTIC bilingual aides that work with our students, teachers, and families. Maybe you know them! Ms. Rana supports students who speak Arabic, Ms. Gentile interprets in Spanish, and Ms. Debbie works with Japanese speakers.
These three staff members add so much value to our school, and are critical members of both our school community and cultural communities. We’ve been featuring different staff members in our “Day in a Life” video series, so please enjoy this video about Rana, Johan, and Debbie!
Go Tigers!
