You Make a Difference
This person goes above and beyond to be a backbone at Birdneck. She wastes no time to offer support, check on how you're feeling, and answer your nitty gritty questions. She is just a quick email away or a quick walk to the old guidance office (or conference room/catch in the hallway) 😄 She saves the day through her wealth of knowledge and magic chocolate jar. Thank you for always being there and for your endless support.
You Make a Difference, Anne Stauch!

SHOUT OUTS!
Monica Roach....for all her patience with quarterly testing.
Cindy Clark...for truly caring about her coworkers!!
Thank you to all teachers who turned in SEC educationals this week! They were all turned in on time! Woot Woot! You are guys are awesome!
Thank you for all that you do Abbe and Dafne. Your patience and hard work is truly appreciated.
Thank you Monica and Heather for your hard work and being such a huge part of our “Birdneck family”. You are always there to help when needed and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you!
I want to give a shout out to Laura Celentano for making SRT accessible to all. It was very difficult to use it properly last year and we are glad to have a positive change with that going forward.
I want to thank Gail Campbell for always being professional. No matter what the challenges are that we face with our busy schedules, she does her best to be accommodating. That goes a really long way when plates are overflowing.
I want to thank my 1st grade team for being honest and supportive. We hold each other up and make huge tasks a little easier by sharing the load.
Shout out to the 1st and 2nd grade teachers for submitting differentiated small group reading plans, your hard work and planning is noticed and your kids are successful because of it. Keep up the great work!
Edith and Rhonda thank you for your hard work. You always have a smile on your face regardless of what is going on.
