KUDOS to Larrissa Ortiz and Sheryl Gilchrist for giving up their Friday afternoons for Friday Academy!! Y'all rock!!
Kudos to the FAC classroom for breakfast each week and lunch! Thanks to Lisa Smith for the home-grown veggies in the soups!
- Maryadele Troxler
Kudos to Norma Cantu doing such an awesome job as our NEWEST ESL teacher! She has made great relationships students and teachers and she always seeks to learn everything and anything she can get her hands on! Her teacher qualities and friend qualities go such a long way in the challenge she had coming to this position so late in the year. FAB-U-LOUS!
Kudos to Larissa Ortiz for being such a great friend and colleague. Our talks about kids, school and dare I say it...even the outside world have brought much needed laughter to my life. She is so VERY APPRECIATED by this teacher!
Kudos to Catherine Gutierrez for being a positive presence in our school. She has willed me out of anxiety attack after anxiety attack through her great advice. I love that she includes me in what seems to be "daily lessons" our kiddos need when they go on the defensive. They know they have accountability & a home base because of the shared "custody" she loops me in on. Gotta love those kids... and Catherine!
- Alex Ellis
Kudos to Marbel Donosso and Hilda Castillo for staying on top of everything that needs someone to be on top of it. Marbel catches attendance glitches before teachers even know there is a glitch and then fixes or follows up with all of them. They are the best - and if you notice, they are always smiling! :-)))
- Laurie Stauffer
Kudos to Ms. Pollini for setting up her Middle Eastern singer so our students can appreciate what we are studying in World Cultures.
Kudos to Ms. Smith for helping out the Bulldog Cafe!
Kudos to Ms. Brunette for the awesome Bulldog Cafe this week!
- Jennifer Bloch
Kudos to Casey Gembicki for letting us read some of his students' work.
Kudos to Sam Jones for always setting-up social gatherings like volleyball.
Kudos to Irma Bauer and Wendy Tucker for doing the Geek lunches and bringing treats! I always learn something new.
- Milton Perez
I want to give kudos to Ms. Bauer and Ms. Le. They have been a rock stars for helping me with student and staff of the month. Ms. Le for creating the google form and having the thoughts of making it electronic, Ms. Bauer for making my dream a reality in being able to feed the form into a word document for easy printing. They have saved this process hours and hours. Now we are able to accommodate more requests and you are able to write as much as you want on it! Thank you so much ladies!
- Travis Mutscher
Kudos to Ms. Terry and Ms. Scales for throwing Mrs. McDaniel a GREAT baby shower before we left for spring break!!!
