Olga Soolook

Teacher Aide

Olga is a teacher aide for the Marshall high school. Her employer is the LYSD, and she went through CCC(Computer Curriculum Cooperation) training to get this job. She also has a high school education. Olga works most of the time up in the computer room, which is 6 hours a day and 5 days a week. She doesn't know how long for sure she will be working for the , but she sure likes the job all right.

She works with the kindergarten and first grades most of the time, also the second and third graders. Her boss of course is the principal, Roger Adams.

Her job responsibilities are: supervise during the elementary lunch hour, do monthly student computer gain reports, and supervising students in math and reading on the computers.

The best thing about her job, she says, is helping students learn new things on the computer. In her spare time she also likes doing math on the computer. What Olga dislikes about her job is trying to have patience ALL the time.

Her advice to the younger generation is to "try to do good in math, or spelling, or English."
