Teacher goes the extra mile with special needs students
Trina Brumley
This week’s Shout Out goes to Trina Brumley, a teacher at Shadydale Elementary School, for the exceptional compassion she shows in serving students with behavioral problems or other special needs.
“Ms. Brumley treats her students with lots of love and respect,” says Yates High School secretary Carolyn Travis, who used to work with Brumley at the E. O. Smith Education Center. “She ensures that her students are presentable at all times, even if it means personally taking the time to wash their uniforms or brush their hair. She also rewards good behavior and changes other behavior that hinders learning, and I’ve watched as she transformed a class that was out of control to a well-behaved classroom of students during her first year of teaching.”
“It takes a special person to reach students with behavior problems and other types of special needs,” she added, “so a big Shout Out to Trina Brumley!”

I concur with Ms. Travis. Ms. Brumley has a heart of gold! She is completely dedicated to her students and really does go the extra mile often at her own expense. She deserves this week’s shout out. Continue the great work that you do Ms. Brumley.
Thank you, Ms. Willis! There are so many things she does for her class, I couldn’t name them all, everything from bringing special treats and buying uniforms to fundraising for extra supplies and field trips.
