We are STEM Sharks. Do you have a favorite shark type? Why is it your favorite?
My favorite are whale sharks, because they are not a threat to humans and are known as gentle giants.

Mrs. Sawyer or Mrs. S., Positive Behavior Intervention
Contact: Email hsawyer@lowell.k12.ma.us
My name is Helene Sawyer. I have worked in Lowell Public Schools for the past 27 years in various capacities, most recently as a special education teacher. This year I have taken on the role of Positive Behavior Intervention. I believe that every child can be successful when the proper support is in place. I just celebrated 40 years of marriage, which requires commitment, communication, and collaboration, much like teaching. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren, going camping, and curling up with a good book. The STEM is like an extended family where "Everyone Feels Welcome!"
We are STEM Sharks. Do you have a favorite shark type? Why is it your favorite?
Porbeagles. They are one of the only shark species known to engage in playful behavior, just like dogs! I guess that's why beagles is part of their name.
