The Inspirational Person for the month December is Danna Courson, Special Education Teacher at SASED Central.  Danna is described by her colleagues as a teacher who always puts the needs of her students first.  She works tirelessly to create a school family and find interventions that work for each student.  She never gives up on her students.  She strives to do what is best for them!  Students love her because she is kind, loving and compassionate.  Her whole child teaching approach involves finding and using children's unique strengths to help them overcome their past traumas and develop positive self-esteem.  She maintains strong academic expectations and shows her students every day that she believes they can succeed.  It is because of her exemplary work that her students and families feel such trust in SASED Central School.  In addition to being an excellent teacher, Danna also is a CPI instructor.  Danna is truly an asset to SASED and SASED Central School.  Congratulations Danna!!!
