Staff Brag From Mr. Samuel
I wanted to brag on Melissa, Cher and Jolene for stepping up and assisting in the cafeteria on Tuesday when Vicky took her sick girls to the doctor. It was amazing to see these three step up and help out. Many thanks are warranted here.
Star Staff for the Week- be sure to use your Reserved Space for Parking!
A huge credit goes to Meri-Lea Sears, our school nurse. She has a job that deals with a lot of undesirable responsibilities that she does with a smile, and keeps us organized and on our toes. Thank you for your dedication to keeping our kids and staff healthy!
Kudos to April Messer our 4th/5th Grade Resource Teacher, she is as organized as they come and loves her job every day! She takes time to think outside of the box to meet her kids where their learning is at, and keeps pushing to help them reach goals and grow as learners. Truly an inspiration in all she does for her kids.
