Staff Recognition
Shout out to our Staff of the Week:
Mrs. Ragsdale is our rock star of the week for Staff Recognition. She has a love for her students and offers them several strategies when they are struggling either in behavior or learning. She partners with Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Quido to help shift some of our 3rd grade friends for extra assistance with Math, and this is valued. What a great team member!
We want to give a huge Thank you to our honorary staff member Glen Herron! He helps keep us warm this winter when we call him with a need for our HVAC system! Thank you for being a great go to guy and always there when we need you!!
Remember: Park in your special spot of honor next week!!
