PARENT/STAFF SHOUT:
"Meadowvale Intervention Specialist, Katelyn Wudel is well deserving of this shout-out. Miss Wudel drove to Chicago to visit family, and took time out of her trip to attend a student's cheer competition, staying for the entire time to support. This type of investment that Miss Wudel gives to her students is the norm. Miss Wudel not only provides support and instruction in the classroom, but goes above and beyond by attending games, dance recitals, competitions, and school-sponsored events, constantly showing up for her current and former students to let them know she cares. We are so lucky to have her!"
What an incredible gesture of support and love to show a student, even hundreds of miles away. WOW!

📏MEASURING MINDS! 📏
The students in Mrs. Stacy's 6th grade math classes at Monac created structures using 6 different nets as part of a Surface Area Unit. This lesson helped solidify the concept of looking at a flat net of a 3D shape and visualizing what the shape would look like in real life. They were then tasked with calculating the surface area of their entire structure!
😊They rocked it and had so much fun while learning a challenging concept.

Parent Shout:
“I want to give a shoutout to Hiawatha’s art teacher, Ms. Wheaton-Rodriguez. She graciously volunteered to help with the Hiawatha Make and Take that the Parents Club does for Kindergarten thru 3rd graders. This year it was a ‘cookies and canvas’ event. She was absolutely AMAZING. She took her time and even prepared slideshows to teach the kids how to make their canvases. This is an after-school event and she really showed how much she cares for our kids. We are so lucky to have her at our school!”
Ms. Wheaton-Rodriguez exemplifies every aspect of our Portrait of Team Member and everyone benefits from her collaborative attitude! Thank you Ms. W-R!

STAFF SHOUT:
"I want to shout out Ms. Singleton (Whitmer English) for all she does. She is an excellent teacher who is warm and welcoming to all her students. She organizes all the ticket sales for every music, theatre and sporting event at Whitmer. She encourages students who want to be teachers. She stays at school late to make sure her classes' grades are always up to date, announces for sporting events and she even helps with the school talent show. When you think of a teacher who exemplifies all the hard work and FUN this job can include - Ms.Singleton is the perfect example."
If you have worked with Ms. S, you know her relentless pursuit of excellence. We are so grateful for the work of this Panther!

PARENT SHOUT:
"I would like to give a shout out to Washington Junior High Principal, Scott Villar. Scott has a calm and soothing demeanor. He always seems to find the time and has kind words to say to support his staff, students and their families. This has made such a difference for me as a parent during difficult situations. Scott genuinely loves his students and wants what is best for them. I am so grateful for his leadership and the positive atmosphere he fosters at Washington Junior High. I feel like he deserves to be recognized for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment for our children to learn in. Thank you for making such a positive impact and being a source of strength during challenging times."
Mr. Villar is the perfect blend of rigor and relationships and we are lucky to have him!
