Ms. Violet, Mr. Jose, and Ms. Sandi had some fun during our Staff Holiday Photo Booth this month. You may know Mr. Jose as LCE's lead custodian. Ms. Violet and Ms. Sandi work as campus supervisors. These staff members have fantastic attitudes!

Founders Day Award Recipient: Annette Fuelling
This staff member happens to be an excellent cook
For her students, she annually chooses the perfect book
She is an excellent shopper and giver of gifts
And each Wednesday morning our spirits she lifts
Her classroom is cozy
Her disposition is rosy
She is a teacher, a wife, a mother, a friend
Her thoughtfulness and generosity knows no end
She is adored by students, parents, and staff, too
Do you need another clue?
Let’s try this: “Class class?” (yes yes!) Yes, it is true.
Annette Fuelling - we wish to honor you!
Founders Day Award Recipients: Parents
Three parents, pictured here (Chrisina Conwell, Tiffany Petroc, and Joanna Banks) were honored at our December Spirit Rally for their service to La Cañada Elementary School.
Christina has been instrumental in keeping our library open last year after Mrs. Bahrami's passing. She also worked with Mrs. Bahrami to design the new layout and met regularly with contractors to ensure it was done well and on time. She continues to be an invaluable resource to Mrs. Melillo.
Tiffany Petroc does so much behind the scenes work - especially with the LCE PTA website and online payments. She also started our after school STEAM program for grades 1st - 6th and can always be counted on to volunteer at school.
Joanna Banks is a member of the PTA executive board and is in charge of the Room Reps program this year. This is just one of the many ways she lends her support to our school and always has a smile on her face!

Founders Day Award Recipient: Monica Ratliff
Our next staff member may not be known to all
But her contributions to our school are definitely not small
She helps out in a myriad of ways
And from our staff she commonly receives due praise
She can be seen walking back and forth every day
To help students of all grade levels and ages
Her trusty sneakers take her through our hallway
As she adds data to her notebook pages
She is helpful, organized and great in a meeting
And I must say, since it is worth repeating
This staff loves our next honoree
Monica Ratliff, it’s well deserved, we agree!
