Women in Education

Michelle Holbrook has blessed the lives of many students during her career as an elementary school and a secondary special education teacher. She is the founder of Just For Kids of Utah County, which was begun to provide greater opportunities for her son, Curtis, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome. The mission of Just for Kids is to promote independent life skills and opportunities to build self-determination in a safe environment for people with disabilities. This non-profit organization includes the HIVEs program, which is a unique, community based, educational activity program. Her greatest desire is to be compassionate and to make the world a better place for people with disabilities.
