Hooker Oak Staff Spotlight
Janet Olson, Instructional Paraprofessional
Hi. My name is Janet and I am a Paraprofessional here at the BEST school ever, Hooker Oak!
After graduating from CSU Chico, I began my career at Head Start where I opened the Mariposa Center as the site director.
I began employment with Chico Unified in 2001, and came here to Hooker Oak in 2018.
My personal time is spent with my husband of 30 + years, Carl. We have two grown children (and wow did those years go fast!), a daughter who is a nurse and a son who is a mechanical engineer. I am also blessed to be a grandmother to a beautiful baby girl, with another on the way!
February is Kindness Month!
The Great Kindness Challenge is a proactive and positive bullying prevention initiative that improves school climate and increases student engagement. The Great Kindness Challenge at Hooker Oak will devote all month to performing as many acts of kindness as possible on campus. Using the provided Kindness calendar given to all classes, students accept the challenge and show the world that KINDNESS MATTERS!
