Meet Lizbeth Trejo, Educational Assistant at Buckingham Elementary

3 years with Worcester County Public Schools

“I love seeing the progress students make throughout the school year.”

A Proud Moment
One of my students communicated through their device which we had been working on for a while

What People May Not Realize
Sometimes nonverbal students have a difficult time communicating their needs, and it can be difficult for their teachers to understand what they need.

What She Loves Most About Her School Community
I love how we are all like a family, and everyone is included in everything.
