<strong>Robin Walker:</strong> <span style="font-size: small">My name is Robin Walker and I am a proud new mommy in my thirties. I come from a Native American reservation in beautiful Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. I am married to my wonderful husband Jeff and we have one son named Brayden. Working with children has always been a joy to me as I was a coach in my sport of figure skating - I’ve been skating since the age of 3 and love it! My favorite past time besides figure skating is being with my family and friends. Miigwetch (Thank You).</span>

Deirdre Dietrichson: 2008-2009 will be my 6th year at Ray in the Tuition-Based Preschool. Working with preschoolers has brought much joy to my life. The awe and wonder with which they approach the world is something we all should cherish. As adults we should never lose that spirit of discovery but too many of us do.  I am married to a wonderful man and have two grown sons. I look forward to working with your children this year.

<strong>Marie Berry: </strong> My name is Marie Berry. I am a preschool teacher’s assistant at Ray Elementary School. I started this work through a program called “Parents as Teachers First” because I believe parents are a child’s first teacher. I am the mother of two and a grandmother and I love working at Ray School!
