Evelyn Cubias for her consistently positive, helpful personality.
Wendy Tucker and Cherri Urban for feeding my addiction to books. You ladies make going to the library a treat!
Maryadele Troxler for being my partner in crime and my brain. YOU CAN DO IT! ;)
8th grade teachers for overall super-stardom.
Desiree Le for stepping in to help out with math. You are greatly appreciated!
Hernandez staff for being a great group of people to work with. Your dedication to our students is awe inspiring. You make a difference every single day!
- Elaine Fowler
Kelli Hutka, Kerry Kasparian, and Jennifer Lillard for rocking the house with the check in and check out of STAAR materials! Y'all are amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Alicia Selestino and Bob Ester for holding down the FOCUS front while I was locked away in the dungeon! You two are amazing and I am so blessed to work with such rock stars!!!
Travis Mutscher - you have been such a bright spot during this difficult time on our campus. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate your leadership, candor, professionalism, and great sense of humor. Thank you for being exactly what Hernandez needs!
Kim Pollini for keeping me laughing during STAAR!
ALL the AMAZING Bulldog Teachers and Staff - thank you for your flexibility and understanding during STAAR time! I really appreciated the cool, calm, and collected attitude that permeated the school. Y'all are amazing and I feel very fortunate to work with y'all.
- Nicki Haulotte
Alicia Selestino and Bob Ester for going above and beyond in collaborating with teachers and finding creative solutions for challenging students.
Travis Mutscher, Nicky Haulotte, and everyone else involved for an absolutely seamless STAAR administration! I had everything I needed for student accommodations, materials checkout was super-efficient, and we were able to start the test promptly.
Clarissa Lopez and her creative, self-motivated group of kids for the Latin Ensemble's performance on Wednesday. It's great to see her students growing both in musical ability and in leadership skills!
Ashley Brunette, Samuel Smith, and Veronika Lopez for the Bulldog Cafe. It's an amazing service to the staff to provide yummy, affordable breakfasts and lunch. More importantly, though, is the opportunity for us to get to know the students in FAC and see their learning and growth. This morning, when I walked into the Cafe, one student greeted me, another took my money, a third made me a cup of coffee. They are practically self-sufficient--such a transformation since August!
