Congratulations to Mrs. D!
Chico News & Review:
Teacher (K-12)
1st PLACE: Heidi Danielson
Sierra View Elementary School
Individualized attention to every student is what Heidi Danielson is known for. “I imagine each of her students feels as if they’re her favorite,” one cohort says. Danielson grew up in Chico and attended Chico schools. As a teacher, she is described as someone both smart and kind. “She has a heart of gold, and the gentlest spirit. She has dedicated her life to inspiring and mentoring children through her teaching … she so deserves this,” a source says.

Kudos to CUSD Staff
I wanted to share with you how brilliant the presentation that Liz, Margo and Kathy did this morning at the Inclusion Collaborative Conference. There were at least 45 people in the room and you could feel how intrigued, impressed, and inspired they were by the amazing work that those ladies have been doing. There were a few minutes at the end for questions and one person asked where they got their energy and passion from.
They were brilliant and represented Chico USD's commitment to inclusion for all students extremely well!
