Kristine is a 25-hour aide in kindergarten classes at Oquirrh, and she also helps with Walk to Read groups. Principal Shauna Worthington says Kristine has been an amazing resource for students and is practically an additional teacher because of her many contributions in the classroom. Principal Worthington says during times of virtual learning, Ms. Parker taught small groups or individual students online and helped pass out meals when they were being delivered at a bus stop in her neighborhood. Kristine Parker is described as amazing and totally worth celebrating.
Because of her efforts on behalf of students and education, Ms. Parker was presented with a special gift card purchased using donations from officers and staff in the Sheriff’s Office and Unified Police.
Thank you to our friends and heroes in law enforcement for taking care of educators!
