Erin Bohanan

As a Kansas native, I did not go far from home to attend the University of Kansas. After graduating, I began to work for the Lawrence Public Schools. In my first year of teaching I married my husband, Terry. We came to Junction City after he received an offer to work on the Junction City Fire Department. I started at Grandview Elementary as the library clerk and Soar to Success tutor. In my second year at Grandview, my husband and I had a son, Griffin. When Grandview voted to adopt the Success For All program, I applied for the job of Facilitator. As the Facilitator, I assess students, support teachers, prepare materials, analyze data, attend conferences, tutor, and share information. In addition to my job as Facilitator, I am on many committees: Professional Development, Student Improvement Team, Social, Holiday Helpers, Site Council and the Effective Schools Panel. Recenly, I wrote a mini-grant for Raising Readers Workshops, which will offer support to parents teaching their children to read. I have felt very welcome in both the school and community and hope to be here for years to come.
