Meet Yvette. An energetic and enthusiastic advocate of play, she can usually be found on the recess yard playing the tag game of the week. She represents the best example of the Playworks philosophy in action. She is kind, patient, and compassionate with the kids – and understands the importance of ensuring every child has the opportunity to have fun. As a noontime aid, she is one of the few individuals who sees every child in the school every day and has been crucial to the success of our programs at Sheppard Elementary. As a mother of three, including one of our all-star Junior Coaches, she is a great asset to our school and community.
