The Special Needs Advisory Council (SNAC) created SNAColades to honor CHCCS staff who, through their hard work and creativity, make our children's school experience more meaningful. The following have been selected for this recognition based on the testimonials of the Exceptional Children community. Below each name is a quote from an appreciative parent.SNAColade Recipients 2013-14
Tania Treml, Autism Support Specialist, Culbreth Middle School
“I have been very impressed with Ms. Treml's knowledge, expertise and ability to work with students, parents, resource teachers and regular ed teachers. Ms. Treml goes above and beyond her call of duty. She has been a true partner in my child's education. We trust her knowledge and expertise in helping children on the autism spectrum. We find her ability to work collaboratively to be very valuable. Ms. Treml's skills are not only helping children, but also helping decrease the burden on parents.”
John Hite, Exceptional Children Teacher, Carrboro High School
“John Hite looks at my child as a whole person; he considers not only academic needs, but emotional and social needs as well. He goes above and beyond to help my child make connections with others both within and outside of the school walls. John Hite has a passion for curriculum, and sensitivity paired with a sense of humor. Our high school experience would suffer without his skills and compassion.”
Beth Kinney, Teacher, McDougle Middle School
"Beth Kinney has been a godsend for the EC department at that school. She gives kids confidence that they can do things and achieve through hard work. She makes them trust her, and her students adore her!”
