Megan Onorato

I love teaching for the joy that comes to the faces of my students when they have learned to do something they didn’t think was possible!

Tell us why you became a teacher

My mom was a paraprofessional in a preschool ABA classroom when I was growing up. I would go in and volunteer and fell in love with the kids and teaching.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My favorite teaching moments are the comments and gestures that the children give me. From the little pictures, hugs, smiles, to the excitement when they realize they can do something that used to be hard. Those are the best moments!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to help invest in my children’s future education.
