We are all very proud of Mrs. Dominy’s perseverance and accomplishment of graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Stephen F. Austin State University.
She is a beneficial player to our 3rd grade classrooms, Mrs. Sunday’s and Mrs. Kadlecek’s in particular, and our entire campus. She goes above and beyond her job duties, and inspires us all to be better versions of ourselves. Her demonstration and drive to be a lifelong learner is contagious. She is a role model to RES students and makes the days brighter. 💜Thanks for your dedication to our school and we are elated that you will continue to be a part of our team!
