STAFF SHOUT:
"When Ally Evanoff (Jefferson) found out that a student hadn't eaten breakfast, she immediately asked about his food preferences and quickly found him something to eat so he would feel better and be able to work academically. This is something Ally does often, making sure the kids are happy, fed, and ready to conquer their day. She's a great intervention specialist and truly a wonderful individual!"
Providing for all students' needs? Yes! That is Ms. Evanoff!

"Mr. Steele (Whitmer Science) is one of my favorite teachers and I have only had him for 1 year. He is such a great teacher and is fun and easy to talk to. He helps out when you need it and even makes jokes along the way."
Few words. Huge impact.

"My daughter is in a special needs baseball league out of district. This past summer her Meadowvale teachers Mrs. (Julia) Vincent and Mrs. (Bea) Ponke made the short drive to see their girl play ball. Even Mrs. Bea helped her in the outfield, bat and run the bases. We couldn't be more thankful for all the love and support from her teachers, nurse and the whole staff at her school. They all are so amazing!! Thank you for everything!"
MEADOWVALE IS FILLED WITH ROCK STARS WHO LOVE THEIR STUDENTS!

"Washington Local is so lucky to have first-year educator, Miss Manard, at Hiawatha as her inspiring dedication exudes warmth and grace! She maintains close relationships with her students and their families in and out of the classroom- Whether it be Class-Dojo well wishes, surprise visits to student sporting events, getting into character for Trunk-or-Treat, or playful participation in class pranks (her class pulls on her!). She does all of this while managing to put in the extra hours (that do not go unnoticed), for OGT Boost Camp and the Hiawatha TikTok page. Thank you for being such a leader in this community.. your genuine efforts and lasting positive impact are the true characteristics that define the word T E A C H E R ❤️"
Ms. Manard contributes so positively to kids, school culture and WLS!
We are lucky to have her!

PARENT SHOUT:
"I just wanted to drop a note of praise for an outstanding bus driver. Mrs Brenda Brown has been our bus driver for the last few years and she has consistently been timely, kind, and professional. I have gone to the bus stop with my child pretty much every morning since Silvercreek opened. She always greets us with a smile and we exchange kind words and friendly banter. She has always given me a heads up if my child acts up or anything and I appreciate her honesty.
In my opinion, being a bus driver has to be one of the toughest jobs. I couldn't imagine being responsible for all of those children's safety everyday on the road. She is truly a blessing to this school system and if there were an award for best bus driver, I would nominate her every single year. The world could use more Mrs Brendas."
**********************************
Our bus drivers are sometimes the FIRST interactions our students have each day and Ms. Brenda always makes sure it is a good one!

"I’d like to give a special staff shout-out to Amy Hannan, our art teacher at Greenwood, for her incredible thoughtfulness and dedication to our students.Amy recognized that a student was becoming overwhelmed due to sensory needs and, without being asked, took it upon herself to find a solution. On her own time and using her own resources, she created a sensory pouch for the student to carry and use whenever she needs sensory input. This small but powerful act has made a meaningful difference in helping the student feel supported and successful throughout the school day.Amy’s actions are a wonderful example of seeing a need, taking initiative, and putting students first. Thank you, Amy, for your kindness, creativity, and commitment to meeting students where they are—we are lucky to have you on our team."Ms. Hannan continues to give of herself for the betterment of her students and WLS. She is an educational superstar!

She forms unbreakable bonds with her students that keep going past graduation! She's a top notch teacher."
Top notch educator? That sounds exactly right!
