Shylo Himes
Resource Para
I started working at Van Buren in September of 2021 as a migrant para. Shortly after, I moved positions to a resource room para. I am a former Van Buren Student. Both my mom and I work here together but in different positions. I have an older brother and a little brother. I enjoy drawing, games, and reading in my spare time. What I enjoy about being a para is being able to help students and be there for them. I try to be a person they can depend on. I love seeing that lightbulb moment when they finally understand what you are teaching. I just really enjoy being able to help kids the way that I do.

Building BI
I am the building BI (Behavioral Interventionist) here at Van Buren Elementary and have been with VB since 2021. I moved to Idaho in April of 2020 with my two beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, exploring nature, kayaking, and swimming. I also enjoy traveling and photography during my spare time. The thing that I love most about teaching is that it allows me to build such awesome relationships with the students as we explore solutions to behavior struggles and discover alternative methods of learning that allow them to be successful. I love seeing the kids progress as they discover their potential and gain the skills and self confidence that they are searching for.
