> Admission to the Holiday Fair is free, activities are low-cost, and it is

> All proceeds from the Holiday Fair support the Neighborhood School PTA, a

> Hi! My name is Amanda Tracy, a speech-language pathologist at TNS. I grew

> When I was a little kid, I even had a “mock” classroom in my basement
> because I knew I wanted to be a teacher! I’ve always enjoyed working with
> children because I love seeing them progress and grow their confidence
> through improved language and communication. In my spare time, I love to

> This is my fourth year teaching at TNS. I am here full time- five days a
> week, and feel so fortunate to be a part of this school community. I treat
> a large caseload of students Pre-K through 5th grade with diagnosed speech
> and language impairments. I like finding current, creative, and innovative
> ways to apply therapy. I’m part of the Student Support Team (SST), in which
> I have the opportunity to meet with my interdisciplinary team members and
> classroom teachers weekly to discuss next steps for children. In addition
> to my speech and language “scope of practice”, I also collaborate with K/1
> classroom teachers to implement the Sounds in Motion (SIM) literacy
> program, as part of the Literacy Initiative in District 1. This year, I’m
> working with Shaniqua and Catlin’s classes to carry out the program and I’m
> in both classes two times a week. We start the year learning letters and
> sounds and end the year with fun literacy centers and activities. Make sure
> to stop by one of my SIM Informational Sessions for Families when they’re
> offered to learn more!

> I am so grateful for my job because helping children find their “voice” is
