Danya Gardner--for offering a helping hand with AIMSWEB Plus & students. She has been instrumental working alongside us 7th grade teachers and offering support both with work and emotionally. A good-natured lady with a big heart.
Natalie Ramirez & Danielle Albrecht--for assisting me with my new Eduphoria and scanning knowledge and for always willing to offer insight about being more effective as a teacher.
Heather Davis--for generously offering her stash of chocolates and emotional support. Thank you for always willing to listen.
Karen Stringer--for being positive and doing as much as she can to offer support in our mutual classrooms and students--you were super duper this week, thank you!
Stephanie Cabrera--my partner in this whole, crazy mess--thank you for listening and being such a great gal to work alongside. I would completely loose it if I didn't have you working alongside me. You rock!
Cherri Urban--you are so awesome when it comes to last minute and lamination Queen--thank you for helping us out.
Wendy Tucker--thank you so much for all that you do for this campus and being there for us English teachers.

Kudos to the Grade 6 team! All the 6th-grade teachers (including elective teachers and coaches!) have worked so hard this six weeks to help our kiddos make a relatively smooth transition into middle school! Thank you for all that you do for our students!
- Heather Davis
KUDOS to Jennifer Squires.It's my first year teaching, and I am her new 6th grade science partner teacher. She has helped me with everything from how to handle classroom behavior issues to where the best place to park is. I don't want to know how this first six weeks would have been without her.
- Joe Schulze
Thank you to all of the teachers who have been completing the ARD Feedback forms. We know that it can take a few minutes, but the input is so valuable and it helps us not interrupt your teaching. Keep up the great work!
- Your Friendly SPED Team :)
A GIANT KUDOS to Desiree Le, Matt C, and Danya Gardner for stepping up and covering MULTIPLE shifts in the TAME trailer. A DAY + for all 3. I couldn't have done it without you!!
A huge thank you to Laura Terry, Briana Flores, and Sarah Martinez for jumping in and volunteering last minute for a shift in the trailer when I was desperate for help!! You guys made my day!
Thank you Laura Stegall for helping out in the TAME trailer for multiple shifts! You rock!!
