Amanda sweetie- I love you and will remember you forever.I cherish the time we worked together. It was a joy having you on our team at Hatton Elementary Life Skills. I have wonderful memories from that time: from classroom instruction , to field trips, and community-based instruction and you were a valuable part of it all. You took pride in setting up the workjobs at each child’s station and followed your schedule diligently and a team member. You were the most amazing dancer I have ever seen. You could watch a country line dance video then dance it better than the instructor. Love you forever, Lisa McCall

Miss Amanda had the most amazing since of humor! She put her life sized Blake Shelton cutout in her closet so that when she opened the door to show us the closet, we would see Blake in her closet!! She was just the sweetest, kindest soul I've even know. She made the world a better place just by her presence. We are all going to miss her forever.
