About the Teacher/
Welcome Msg
I have been working with people with disabilities for the bast 18 years. I am originally from a small town in Alabama and grew up around Smith Lake. Love the lake, boating, fishing, grilling out and the holidays I get to spend with my family. I am a huge ALABAMA Football fan!!!! I live in Hernando, MS with my dog Rex and take care of a family member who has intellectual disabilities, Mr. Tom.
I am so excited to see all the students and get to know them and their families this year!!!
Stay Safe out there!
Mr. Hays
