Staff Recognition
I wanted to give some special attention this week to people behind the scenes that made sure that our days went smoothly these last two days:
Sam-- She was a rock star about getting the water to classrooms, covering fountains and making sure to post reminders for adults in the break rooms to not use the water from the faucet. She takes good care of all of us!!
Bobbi-- took on all of our students this morning in the morning assembly and had them excited and ready to go for the day, while we finished up some needed Care Team PD as a staff. Thank you to Bobbi and all of our other staff members that made this possible! Way to work as a team! You are all priceless!
Remember: Park in your special spot of honor next week!!
Staff Updates
We had some winners at the end of National Counseling Week- that matched each Counselor to their description correctly-- we know our Counselors! <3
Winners were awarded with a pack of gum, jeans and stretch and flex wear stickers, and a Sonic certificate. All others that participated tried not to be too salty about their loss with a bag of popcorn as a consolation prize. :)
Winners:
