STAFF SHOUT:

"I wanted to shout out Mr. Wagner for having such a positive impact on a student’s life! Every morning when this student comes in, he says hello to me AND Mr. Wagner. During Fun Friday, he wanted Mr. Wagner to watch him swing. Not only did he come swing with Jeffery, they took this sweet picture! I’ve never seen him have as much fun on our Fun Friday as he did this day with Mr. Wagner. Silver Creek is so lucky to have him as an addition to our team!"

Making kids feel like time with them is valuable to you... Mr. Wagner has this gift!

STAFF SHOUT:

"A huge shout-out to Meadowvale 3rd grade teacher, Kristin McCorkle, for her incredible dedication to making every student feel welcome! When a new student joined her class, she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. Before the student even stepped through the door, Mrs. McCorkle had already organized a student welcoming committee, ensured the student had a clear space, and arranged for peer buddies to offer a friendly greeting, guide them through the school, and sit with them at lunch. Her proactive effort demonstrates a true commitment to building an inclusive and supportive classroom community."

Inclusion happens because of people like Kristin McCorkle. 💙

PARENT-to-STAFF SHOUT:

"I'd like to shout out two of my favorite staff members at Whitmer High School -Ms. Jessica Stripling and Mrs.Stefanie DellaFlora! The dynamic duo! Both of these ladies go above and beyond for the good of all of the students at Whitmer. They have a common goal and purpose that guides their joint efforts. They work well together and make a great team. They are always willing to jump in to help and support students and staff. Their fun-loving sense of humor is contagious. They have such an amazing and positive impact on students. We need more people like Jessica and Stefanie to help our students feel confident, comfortable and loved."

Having work ethic AND fun at school is such a FLEX - and parents recognize it!

STUDENT SHOUT:

"Mr. Stephen Wexler (Silver Creek) is an amazing teacher. He always wants you to do your best and have an amazing future. I had Mr Wexler for 6th grade and he was the best teacher I have ever had. He goes to my events. He will always be my favorite teacher. I tell him about my tests and he always says he knew I could do it. Mr Wexler is the best."

"He knew I could do it." = Because of your belief, they can AND will, Mr. Wexler!

PARENT-TO-STAFF SHOUT:

"Moving to a new school in the 4th grade is super hard, especially for a kiddo who is more reserved. Mrs. Kerr was an absolute God-send for my son at Greenwood. She helped break him out of his shell and helped him make some pretty great friends by facilitating a classroom culture of family that was unmatched. Even though he’s moved on to the next grade, she has made such a significant impact on our family and his perspective of a new school. When they were asked to draw their Heart Maps (people and things that they hold dear), Mrs. Kerr was included on his map, which was so well-deserved. She has an amazing gift, and we are so lucky to have her in this district!"

Adults who make children feel safe in new environments are so precious to parents!

STUDENT SHOUT:

"I want to shout out Mr Matt Lapoint at Whitmer for being the best teacher I've ever had. He came to my art show, when my family or friends couldn’t attend that day and showed me so much support. I was so grateful. I genuinely don’t think I'd be here today, a Senior ready to graduate, without the help of Mr. Lapoint all 4 years. He truly does so much for me and fellow students, and that should be recognized."

We could not agree more.

PARENT-TO-STAFF SHOUT:

A big shout-out to Mrs.Sara Michaelis at Silver Creek for the incredible love and support she shows both inside and outside of work. Not only does she go above and beyond during the week, but she also takes time out of her weekends to show up at sporting events when she doesn’t have to. That kind of dedication speaks volumes about her heart and commitment.

On top of that, she creates such a safe, welcoming space for my child. She is always encouraging him to freely express his likes and be exactly who he is. That kind of encouragement is priceless, and it truly makes a lasting impact.

Thank you for being such a positive influence and role model. You are deeply appreciated!
🙌❤️"

They see it.
We see it too.
Way to go Ms. M!​
