FW: Retiring

25 Aug '25

See below from Merry Noel. Hello! Although I absolutely LOVE my job, I’m retiring after this school year. You are the first to know. I work for service unit #3, who accepts NOMC certification. I am an O&M instructor and a Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments. So, if you know anyone who would love to move to Nebraska - work 10 months a year with children from birth to 21- have summers off (with pay) - contact me. Must have Nebraska Teaching License or the ability to get one. My employer hires & covers the expenses of a driver for me. Although the goal is to find someone with duel certification, they may need to hire two people holding one certification. I know you’re out there, so please contact me. 💜 Merry-Noel Sent from Dr. Merry-Noel Chamberlain’s iPhone.

I was hoping to get you all to put your thinking caps on, or send us to someone you might know with non-visual vaulting experience (or maybe even sprinting for track). Thanks in advance for your ideas!! Becky Good evening, I am Ashley Tatum, I just finished my first year from Andrew Shaver's studio. I am also childhood friends with Leah Tillman. I coach gymnastics and one of the girls that I coach is blind. She is a competitive gymnast, and I coached her on vault and bars this past season. This season she will be moving up levels and will need to compete a significantly harder vault. I visited the exhibition that you had this past semester in the Moss Arts center and remember there being textured floor mats. Her difficulty in vault stems from her confidence both in her run and hurdle up to the springboard. I have a few ideas for a solution, one of which includes textures. I was wondering if you have any availability to discuss your findings while studying with the blind, or any suggestions that you may have. I live in the area and would be available to schedule a meeting if available. However, I realize it is summer, and your schedule may not allow for this, any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
