My name is Ms. Joanne Holmes-Qunnie. I am an Instructional Assistant in the 6th-8th Grade MD/Autism class. I have been in the field of education for 43 years. I am a mother of 4 sons and 1 daughter. My degree is in Early Childhood Education. I am a certified AFT trainer in ER&D. I believe a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I attended Mary M. Bethune until sixth grade. I am also a proud 1973 graduate of Glenville High School. I love being here to help shape the minds of our scholars.
