STARS of the WEEK!
Neeraj Ghule
I would love to nominate Neeraj. She works so hard and has been the glue that has kept Creekside A/B on the right track, with all the changes that have gone on this year.
Lisa Iacovone
Lisa is a breath of fresh air over at Liberty. It warms my heart on these cold chilly mornings to witness Lisa greeting her students off the bus. Her warm smiley face lights up the hallway. Her dedication to her students makes me high with enthusiasm. Her enthusiasm inspires me to new heights. Lisa is a model candidate for the shining star recognition at Liberty.
SHOUT-OUTS:
A huge shout-out to all of the staff that supported the planning, preparation, and facilitation of our Literacy Night on Thursday. It was a huge success. The parents really enjoyed themselves and everyone learned from the amazing modeling of effective/meaningful read alouds. GREAT JOB!
A huge shout-out to all of our teachers for meeting the grueling deadlines, with everything being due at once. We recognize the long hours and dedication you put in. We appreciate all of your hard work. A break is just around the corner! :-)

Start looking at your Friday's in December. If you have availability, this would be a great time to observe a Kindergarten classroom in your building to assist with writing Kindergarten goals for transition. If you would like to observe, please let us know and we'll arrange it.
