 Marie is just someone that we lean on each and every day. Marie goes out of her way to do things for students that sometimes we don't even know about. It's not a job for her, it's more like a calling. It's almost like she has a way to light a perfect light on a student so that every child can shine. To me, succeeding might not be what other people it looks like, but I know if they've overcome some issues and maybe didn't mean that they graduated, but they were in school for the year. They were able to get over their anxiety. It's a great feeling and I'm rewarded all the time. Marie is always going out in the community to find resources for kids and get food for them or clothing. Marie drives kids to appointments. She takes them to work if they're stuck. There are kids who would not be coming to school if it wasn't for Marie. She gives them a safe space when they need somewhere to go.
