Meet our Reading Team

Rebecca Bernard

I have enjoyed serving in the field of education for 36 years. I began in the classroom and now I have returned! Nothing compares to the excitement I feel when I am afforded the opportunity to help your child learn to read. Added to that excitement is a tremendous team of educators that share those same feelings. Thank you for allowing me to begin this journey with your child and thank you for traveling this road with us!

  I have been teaching in Clever for seven years.  This is my second year to teach Title I Reading and I love it!  I am looking forward to working with you and your child as we begin another great school year.  I feel honored to watch your children learn to read and grow in their literacy skills and am grateful to be a part of the team helping them in that process.
