REACH – Matthew Meyer
Lester Prairie REACH Program
GO BULLDOGS!
Welcome!
Hello, My name is Matthew Meyer and this will be my 6th year at Lester Prairie Schools. I am very excited about the school year. I just wanted to let you know a little bit about myself. I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Madison, where I earned my undergraduate degree in social welfare.
Prior to being the R.E.A.C.H Instructor/ Special Education Paraprofessional at Lester Prairie, I was a Special Education Teacher for 1 year,  a Special Education Paraprofessional for five years, and the R.E.A.C.H. Supervisor for two years prior at Lester Prairie High School.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to supervise the REACH Program.
