January Staff of the Month
Congratulations!!
Mrs. Gabrielle Forrest is an outstanding music teacher. She works with every child in the school! She is always ready to do whatever is needed to make our school special. She motivates the children to do their very best in music outclass and choir. The Veteran's Day performance was absolutely amazing! I think she began a new tradition at APE!
Mrs. Melissa Johnson is the first teacher to volunteer for extra work. She is the ultimate team player. She sees a need and she takes care of it. She loves her students and does a great job in the classroom. She is fun and motivating both inside and outside the classroom. We are blessed to have her at APE!
