Judy has taught many students with many types of disabilities. These include students with severe emotional and physical disorders, conditions requiring ventilators and tube feeding, and autism. Judy has unique personal and professional attributes. She is highly regarded by her colleagues, having been voted 'Teacher of the Year' by the Oak Park staff in 1991. Judy has been a leader in many extracurricular activities through the years. The program to which she has been particularly dedicated for many years is that of Senior Class Advisor. She spends a multitude of hours planning for and implementing the Senior graduation ceremony, hours far beyond what could possibly be counted as an assigned 'duty day.' She stands out among her peers as one of the finest of teachers.
