Scott Johnson is a Special Education teacher that comes to Mini-School every day during second hour. He helps students that have case managers. This is his first year in Mini.
Scott is the proud father of two girls and a 6 1/2 week old baby boy. He and his wife named him Anders. When Anders was born he weighed eight pounds, and three ounces. He was 23 inches long. Scott says sleep doesn’t happen anymore.
Danielle Weiss was a student here last year as a junior. She spent almost her whole school year being pregnant. Towards the end of her pregnancy Mini helped Danielle by home schooling her.
She had a beautiful baby boy on May 29, 1998. He weighed eight pounds and five ounces. He was 20 1/2 inches long. She named him Tai Leron. Danielle says that being a mother is fun, but also very hard, and sometimes frustrating. It is a little bit more difficult to go out now, it’s even hard to go to work or school.
Pauline Engelby is one of the teachers in Mini. This year is her sixth year of teaching for this program. Pauline is currently thirty two weeks pregnant with her second child. She currently has one girl now and has a second on the way. She and her husband Jason have decided to name her either Samantha, or Rachel.
Her family was very excited and very happy about the fact of her having another child. They all especially like the fact that the two girls will be almost exactly three years apart. Her daughter thinks that since mommy has a baby in her tummy, that everyone must have a baby in their tummies.
