Ms. Greer & Ms. Steinbeck
Elena and Lauren are superheroes... they are fantastic, highly-organized department heads who are managing to help with student teaching and/or are teaching, help manage our department, and make the new person (me) feel really at home. This has been an amazing transition for me. Our department rocks, and I am very appreciative of all of the teachers.

Minnie Howie the Roaming Gnome Award
Goes to... Ms. Chelsea Bradford & Ms. Stephanie Ghent!!
Ms. Brummond writes... First, thank you so much for the honor of receiving Minnie Howie for the first full week of school. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with you all! This week as I nominate and pass on Minnie Howie, I was unable to select just one person. It has been a great week at MH campus, and two teachers who particularly rocked were Chelsea Bradford and Stephanie Ghent. While many have given time to write lessons for Freshman Seminar, none have devoted themselves to this task the way Ms. Ghent and Ms. Bradford have. It is rare to see Ms. Bradford without a smile, and with Ms. Ghent’s determination and perseverance any goal can be achieved. From jumping in and teaching lessons when technology is not working, to organizing the Google classroom, Ms. Bradford and Ms. Ghent highly deserve the Minnie Howie award. It is my good fortune to get to work with two such dedicated staff members. Thanks for being so awesome, and motivating me to a high standard of excellence each day!
Thank you Ms. Bradford & Ms. Ghent for being AWESOME!!!
If you were wondering...
What is the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
This award gives us another way to recognize and celebrate each other. Minnie Howie is passed on from person to person each week.
What do you do when you receive the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
Prominently display the award in your classroom or office. You can even brag a bit and carry Minnie Howie with you when you travel the building.
When and how do you pass Minnie Howie to the next awesome colleague?
At the end of the week, write up a short celebration blurb in which you name the next awardee and share a few things about him/her that you want to recognize and share. Send the blurb to Ms Wood for her Sunday "Week-at-a-Glance." On Monday morning, deliver Minnie Howie to the awardee.
And the cycle continues...
Brought to you by Titans Succeed / Renaissance Committee in appreciation of all that you do to make this a great place to work and learn.
