On a regular school day, our clerk, Ms. Irma arrives at 8:50. The first thing she does is to make sure that all the teachers submit their attendance. She works on the monthly calendar. It seems she is often putting a bandage on a kid’s injury or how the kindergartners call them “boo boo’s”. During the day, Ms.Irma files papers and writes letters to the parents. She leaves at whatever time the parents of the kids arrive to pick them up after the After School program ends at 5:30 pm.
When Ms. Irma is not answering phones , making copies for the overhead or even cleaning bloody noses at Whittier School, she is at home scrapbooking family and friends events. You may also find her watching her favorite show ” Greys Anatomy” or Spanish language soap operas. Her favorite soap opera is called “Amor Real”, which starred Adela Noriega and Fernando Colunga.
Ms. Irma also enjoys going out to eat at restaurants like the”Olive Garden”and the “Flat Top Grill”. She likes the Olive Garden because its great Italian food and beautiful atmosphere. The reason she enjoys eating at the Flat Top Grill is because you get to pick fresh ingredients that you prepare at your table.
Her family enjoys traveling . She likes driving on her trips. Ms. Irma and her son once went to the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
What Ms.Irma is proud of is her son Alonzo and his accomplishments. What she loves about her son is that he gets very exited when he gets good grades or learns something new.
