SGES would love to thank Kaiden for such an incredible job interviewing. He was so professional and took the initiative to even come up with some questions of his own! 

What is your favorite child’s book?

Olivia, because when my kids were little it was their favorite book to read them before they went to bed. They used to crack up every time we said mushy gaga.

What made you choose your job?

Well if I’m going to be honest, I grew up in a family that said “go to work!” and while I regret not going to college, doing my job has given me a lot of joy over the years. Seeing kids laughing and enjoying themselves and having fun has been wonderful. I’m glad I chose it.

What is a secret talent you have that we don’t know?

Well I have a couple of them! I’d say number 1, I am a very good cook and I love to cook and the other is that I’m a pretty good golfer. My favorite thing to make is meatballs. (It was at this moment, Kaiden hopped in and suggested,”maybe spaghetti and meatballs?” and they high fived and decided that spaghetti and meatballs was the best.

If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

My superpower would probably be to be able to heal. Well it’s funny, any time that my kids had pain I used to say I wish I could take it away and feel it myself so they didn’t have to. So, if I could heal people and make them feel good, that would be my favorite thing to do. 

If you could go on a field trip anywhere where would you go?

My bucket list is Italy; I love the culture there. Again, because I love cooking, I know some people have gone and it’s an amazing place to try a bunch of different foods. And then with all of the history there,  it would be an amazing place to go. There’s the roman colosseum, and a lot of really good history there that you hear about and it’d be great to see.

(Kaiden jumped in and brought up a trip he took to New York and the two discussed how Dan once went and tried every piece of pizza he could find until he found a little unknown place he has since dubbed as “the best in New York”.)

What do you love most about your job?

What I love most about my job is seeing the kids in the intensive needs room develop and make so much progress while they are here. I know that they struggle sometimes and it gives me joy to see all that we do that can help them and then all of the progress they make. 

SGES would love to thank Gabby for such an incredible job interviewing. She was the embodiment of professionalism and even had a few questions of her own once she finished reading the ones we had!

What is your favorite child’s book?

My favorite children’s book is probably The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

What made you choose your job?

I chose my job because I wanted to help kids learn and to grow; it makes me feel so happy to be able to do that.

What is a secret talent you have that we don’t know?

I love to rollerblade! Either inside or outside it doesn’t matter, but I just love it. 

If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

My superpower would have to be flying like an eagle. They’re so beautiful and they can see everything and are just amazing creatures.

If you could go on a field trip anywhere where would you go?

My destination field trip would have to be in Dubai. Me and my daughter always talk about going on a trip together there. They have these wooden huts out on the water and it is just majestic and tropical and a dream destination.

What do you love most about your job?

I love seeing all of you and helping you learn! You just make my day awesome and I look forward to coming to work. I also love meeting up with all of my amazing coworkers every day.

Then, our interviewer had a few questions of her own!

What is your favorite ride at Disney?

My favorite ride has to be the Rock n’Roller Coaster; it’s super fast and goes so fast almost instantly and the music is great!

What is your favorite Disney character?

My favorite is the Little Mermaid because I’d love to be a mermaid and I’m obsessed with that character. I just love her!

SGES would like to thank one of our kindergarten students, Jojo, and a preschool student, Amelia, for interviewing Mrs. Coz! They did an incredible job!

What is your favorite child’s book?

Stellaluna; I enjoyed reading it to my boys while they were growing up.

What made you choose your job?

I've worked with children since I was 9 years old. I started off being a mother's helper; later became a babysitter; prior to having my own children I was a social worker. Then, after my kids, I was a stay at home mom and I started off in the office with Mrs. Henault actually!  I have just gone through all of my entire life working with children, especially children in need and it’s always felt like the right place to be. 

What is a secret talent you have that we don’t know?

Well I can’t cook! I love creating arts and crafts; especially for my classroom. 

If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

It would be to have a magic wand; I would love to be able to make wishes and dreams come true.

If you could go on a field trip anywhere where would you go?

I think I would like to go to outer space and see the moon.

What do you love most about your job?

I love working with my very special students. (Jojo intervened to give quite a hearty agreement here!)

A special thank you to one of our first grade students, Chloe, who interviewed Mrs. Sutton and was our first student to do so without any assistance! Great job, Chloe!

What is your favorite child’s book?

My favorite children’s book has to be The Polar Express.

What made you choose your job?

I had some great teachers when I went to elementary school and I always wanted to be a teacher from when I was really little.

What is a secret talent you have that we don’t know?

I played the flute all four years of high school. I still have it today!

If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

Not to fly but maybe to teleport. There’s a lot of places to see and I would get there a lot faster. 

If you could go on a field trip anywhere, where would you go?

With my students: I’d probably go to an amusement park with my kids because Mr. Sutton is not a fan of amusement parks so I don’t get to go!

What do you love most about your job?

The thing I love most about my job is reading aloud to my kids. I love reading any kind of stories. I love Junie B; when I read it I feel like I am Junie B.
