                            together like





















                                                           "Respectful," "well-behaved," "exciting," and "pretty cool" were words
                                                         used by  the support staff to  describe both their experiences at school and the
                                                         students they came in  contact with daily.
                                                            Cook Eileen  Bullard,  who worked at the Hole in  the Wall, said the
                                                         students were very  nice and the majority of them were well-behaved. The
                                                         snack shop was always busy, which is  why Bullard loved her job. She al so
                                                         said she was very proud to  work with the other cooks.
                                                            Custodian James Kness was on a list as  a substitute months before he was
                                                          able to  be considered for his custodian position. Kness  had a year under his
                                                          belt, and he said that although it was difficult at times,  he was grateful for hi s
                                                          job. Every day he looked forward to  helping out any  way he could.
                                                            Hall monitor, Les Craig, said that he enjoyed the interaction he had with
                                                          students, specifically the athletes because he is  a fonner athlete. Craig played
                                                          high school football and basketball and continued to  play basketball in
                                                          college. He also said the school's environment was very conducive to
                                                          learning.
                                                             For the future of the school, Craig hopes the curriculum is diverse and
                                                          will give students a world-wide view "beyond Millard, beyond Nebraska,
                                                          beyond the United States."
                                                             Throughout the year, the support staff members stuck together to  make the
               ~~cadernics                                 school a place for learning, having fun , and feeling safe.
