JOEL Stewart Award of Excellence
Liza Reyes It is a typical beginning for many staff members at The Westview School. Liza Reyes first came to Westview as a parent. Her son, Angel, was a student in the early childhood development class at The Westview School during the 2009-2010 school year. Angel transitioned out of Westview at a young age, and Liza enrolled him in public school and full-time ABA. Liza was a huge advocate for her son as he progressed through various public and private programs. She saw a serious need for more trained special education teachers, especially those with passion and empathy towards students with autism. She decided to go back to school to complete her degree. When she needed observation hours, Westview was the first place she turned. The observation hours turning into subbing, and in 2016, Liza took a full-time position at Westview as an assistant in Lower Elementary. Liza has significantly impacted both students and co-workers at The Westview School through her six years on staff. Her positive attitude towards students and co-workers and her willingness to go above and beyond make it clear why Liza is such an asset to Westview.
