KADEP Participants are Reading Buddies at Alsup

Laura's Reading Buddy Group has been visiting Alsup Elementary Kindergarten class each Tuesday morning this semester.  We have had so much fun watching the students improve their reading.  We read to them, and they read to us.  We have done lots of fun activities, we sing songs and create art while visiting on Tuesdays.  It has been such a great experience, forming friendships with the students at Alsup.  Thank you to Ms. Koss and all the Kindergarten students! You very are special to us!

Happy Halloween!

Welcome KADEP Staff Member, Makena

"I grew up in Lafayette, CO. I attended Colorado State University for four years and graduated with a degree in Health and Exercise Science.  Then I attended Metro State University of Denver to study Therapeutic Recreation.  I completed my internship summer of 2012 at KADEP and luckily for me the internship turned into a job!  I am so happy I found a job that I look forward to coming to everyday. It is really the clients that make this an enjoyable place to be.  Outside of work I enjoy bike riding, swimming, and hiking." 

Welcome Makena!
