"Colleen returned from retirement to work with our kids in the 12:1:1 multiply handicapped room. She comes to work every day with a smile and loves the students like they are her own. She perseveres through every challenge and doesn’t let her age get in her way!" anonymous.
Colleen Mulligan, Teacher Assistant at Denti Elementary
How long have you worked in the RCSD?
I started in 1977, retired in 2013 for about a day, started subbing, and 2 years ago came back full-time. I guess you would say I have worked for the District for 46 years!
What do you like most about your job?
I love the children. I love making a difference in their lives. Working in Special Ed has so many rewards and that is another thing I love about my job.
What inspires you?
What inspires me is the smile on the face of the child I work with when he knows he is special to us!
What is a fun fact about you?
A fun fact about me is I love giraffes!
