Carpenter’s Principal Stacy Boarman said, “Part of being a leader at Lamar CISD is having a passion for people by developing self and others. When I heard about the opportunity to help our talented paraprofessionals become certified teachers, I knew I had to encourage Melissa to get involved.  I know she is going to have a positive impact and will truly make a difference for those who will be fortunate enough to call her ‘teacher’.”
