His counseling and guidance have made a significant difference in the lives of so many students! Thank you for everything you do, Mr. Schulz!"

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"I want to shout out Officer Jeff at Whitmer! Officer Jeff goes out of his way to introduce himself and communicate with our students in the Panther room. He is patient, polite and respectful. The kids love talking to him and asking him questions. He takes the time to answer them and hold a conversation with them. I think it's amazing that he wants to get to know the students so they feel safe and comfortable with him. Every school should have someone like Officer Jeff!"
Our School Resource Officers go above and beyond and Officer Jeff is the PERFECT example! Thank you!

STAFF SHOUT:
"Sending the biggest shout out and thanks to Mrs. Susan Mee, the cheerful central nervous system of the place we affectionately call: The Meadows.
She thrives in both chaos and calm alike with such efficient gracefulness. It's so cool to see her work her magic. Delivery rate is consistently 12/10. Just the other day I had a problem I was talking to our awesome principal Ms. Melissa Hall about and quicker than two shakes of a lamb's tail, I heard Susan behind me on the phone already sourcing solutions for me!
She is the absolute best of the best and the definition of a pleasure to work with!"
To know her is to love her light! Thank you, Ms. Mee for ALL you do!
