Ms. Denise

Ms. Denise Neal serves the Bluford Unit School District #318 as a special education/classroom paraprofessional.  She has worked for the district for the past five years.  Prior to stepping into her current role, Ms. Denise worked as a substitute librarian, paraprofessional, and secretary for District 80.  She also served as a classroom monitor for high school Spanish and Driver Education classes.

When asked what her favorite part of working at BUSD she said, "I love to help out our students and teachers as much as possible. The teachers here at Bluford are all great co-workers and anytime I can help them or help our students it makes me happy."

Ms. Denise's favorite moment of her career so far was in her first year working at Bluford School.  She was a 1:1 paraprofessional for a special needs child.  She shared, "watching her learn, recognize, and even write some of the letters of the alphabet. That was when I realized how much I really love working with our students here at Bluford especially the children that may need a little extra help."

In her spare time, Ms. Denise enjoys spending time with family, babysitting her beautiful granddaughter Avrilyn, shopping, reading, and watching movies.  At some point she would love to visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower
