Exceptional Children's Teaching Assistant is Named Employee of the Month

Greensboro, N.C. – Jeremiah Coleman knows what it is like to work with students that have support needs. Previously a stay-at-home dad, Coleman helped raise his son and provide instruction at home. When it was time to re-enter the workforce, he started out as a custodian at Southeast High but found his calling as an Exceptional Children's Teaching Assistant at Alamance Elementary. 

The impact he has had on the fifth-grade student he serves was quickly noticed by the teachers in his grade level, who nominated him to be Employee of the Month.   

“Mr. Coleman has come in with an open heart to give his all to what he does,” writes Emily Brame, a fifth-grade teacher at Alamance Elementary. “Mr. Coleman works with a physically disabled student and has just started recently. The child he works with is so happy the past few days and this is a great change. The way Mr. Coleman reacts with all the students is amazing. We are SO glad he has joined our team, our kiddos are lucky to have him, we are lucky to have him!” 

Coleman was surprised by the news when entering art class with his student; a massive banner and cheers welcomed him.  

Coleman received a $50 gift card courtesy of the Greensboro Jaycees. During the month of October, his photo will be displayed at the district’s central offices and in the Greensboro Jaycees office.
