Message From Mr. Fay
Peine Community,
It’s May already! Another year of learning and growing is coming to an end. We want our students to continue to learn and grow until the last bell rings. Please encourage them to do so and when May 26th arrives, they can relax the summer away.
Throughout the school year we celebrate different staff members and recognize them for all their hard work. During the week of May 1st through May 5th we will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Please be sure to have your child do something special for their teacher. It can even be as simple as a thank you card. It goes a long way to help our teaching staff feel appreciated.
Speaking of celebrating, congratulations to Peine’s Support Staff Employee of the Year: Lavonne Dairda
Our staff is so appreciative of Lavonne’s efforts. Here is what a few of them had to say:
She goes above and beyond to keep our school clean and safe. She motivates students to be self sufficient. She has also reached out to several students in need. Our school is a much better place because of her!
Lavonne has made a connection with our students even though she never sees them! She has started competitions against other classes to see who has the cleanest classroom. Now she is able to clean more than just the usual for us and our rooms are always sparkling! And the kids love her notes. :)
Lavonne goes above and beyond to keep our school looking its best! I love the way she involves our students in a friendly competition to remind them that it is also their responsibility to keep PRE clean.
One of the best things about Lavonne is she does it all with smile and a positive attitude!
Thank you, Lavonne, for going above and beyond with giving to the students and staff of Peine Ridge Elementary. If you see Lavonne around, be sure to congratulate her!
Thank you very much!
Mr. Fay
