Cynthia Brush-Pires, Special Educator
Jessica Schaffer, Special Educator
My name is Jessica Schaffer, I am the lead special educator at TES. This is my second year at TES and my 20th year with Orange East Supervisory Union. Prior to teaching in Vermont I was a special educator on Long Island, NY. I love living in Vermont and enjoying all it has to offer. I live with my child, a ninth grader at TA, my husband, who is a retired NYC police officer, and Bentley, our dog, who definitely keeps us active.

Hi! My name is Shira and I am the preschool through second grade special education teacher here in Thetford. I have been teaching early childhood education and special education since I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Massachusetts in 2002. I live in Thetford Center with my family and big dog. I love to hike, read, garden and be outside!
