Leanne Burt - Site Based Tech

I am so excited to be working in the Vassiliadis school library, especially with brand new books! I love to read and am looking forward to assisting students and faculty find what they need in the library.

I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah, and graduated from Snow College with my Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Information Systems. I worked as a computer operator and then programmer for about 15 years. I loved my career; but when my children came, I chose to be a stay-at-home mom. I am married to Alan, who is a wonderful husband and father. We have two beautiful girls; Kaylee, who is currently attending BYU and studying to be a Social Worker and hoping to work with youth and children; and Kimberly, who is a sophomore at Palo Verde High School.

My husband’s job brought us to Las Vegas when our girls were young. When our youngest was in First Grade at Bonner, I had the privilege of working as a Teacher’s Aide at the same school – and eventually with Mr. Catania. I have worked at Bonner for 11 years, and look forward to continuing another amazing year with Mr. Catania, and all the other fantastic faculty, students, parents, and staff.

Heather Stuart - PE Aide

My name is Heather Stuart and I am the Intermediate Resource Instructional Assistant to Ms. Stratton. Last year was my first with the Clark County School District and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Vassiliadis family. Before gaining my Cub pride, I was a manager at the Golden Entertainment Group for almost ten years. During that time I never enjoyed going to work as much as I do now. I love working with children and watching them grow and succeed is the most rewarding feeling. I am engaged to my best friend and we have two awesome children, Max (13) and Ebin (5). We spend a lot of our time outdoors hiking, camping, going to the lake and playing baseball. I feel so fortunate to not only be at a 5 Star school but to work amongst the best staff, students, and parents. Go Cubs!!

Sally Ramirez - Special Program Teaching Assistant

Hello, my name is Sally Ramirez and I have been with the Clark County School District for 11 years. My initial experience with CCSD was working with a high school program called Mommy and Me, where I mentored teenage mothers and provided daycare for their children while they attended to their education. For the past 9 years, I have been a teaching assistant to special education teachers specializing in autism.

I was born and raised in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and graduated from Alta Loma High School. I have been married for 37 years to my husband, Henry and we have two children and 6 grandchildren. During the early years of our marriage, my husband was in the military and I was a stay at home mom; but I have always babysat for friends and family member's children. After my stint as a stay at home mom, I finally joined the workforce at a daycare for and spent 7 years there.

Very early on in my life I knew my calling was to provide education and nurturing to children. To see each and every one of those kids that I have interacted with and continue to interact is the biggest blessing in my life. To know that I can make a difference in their lives just by being present and devoting my time and energy to their needs is very rewarding to me.
