PARENT-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"Hello! I am a parent of a WLS student and just wanted to share how appreciative I am of her teacher, Ms. Marya Knuth and her dedication to my daughter. She is a fantastic teacher and I feel that the district is fortunate to have her. Ms. Knuth goes above and beyond each and every day. She teaches special education and develops creative unique and individualized ways for students to learn. Ms. Knuth is a strong communicator and routinely updates me on my child's progress. Ms. Knuth also ensures that students are learning to the best of their potential and abilities. I feel she is such a wonderful teacher, goes above and beyond for her students and should be recognized for this. Thank you Ms. Knuth!"
WOW. What an awesome gesture of gratitude for our staff member! Thank you for sending and thank you Ms. Knuth for all you do!

"Hassan Moore (Greenwood Classroom Aide) gives his all everyday. He works so well with all students and they respect and appreciate him so much. Daily we see him in the classroom helping students with their work, on the playground playing football with the kids or talking a student through a tough time. He is such an inspiration to our students and staff. He is always there for anyone who needs help and is so genuinely kind. He is the perfect mentor and role model for our kids. He loves his job and you can see it in his selfless work. We are so grateful to have him on our staff. Thank you Hassan for all you do! Your Greenwood family loves you!"

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT!
"As the head of Maintenance, Nate Brown is someone that I can count on to always come through and help me make sure our building works for students, families, and staff. I have worked with Nate to install sinks that are wheelchair accessible, put changing tables in the restrooms, fix sidewalks, install new air conditioners, and help a family with a new bike. While Nate would say it's all a part of the job, he takes care of over 10 buildings and their grounds each day and I know he is a very busy man, so the time he has taken to answer my messages, calls, and to show up in person to help me problem solve is very much appreciated!"
Nate never stops checking things off his to-d o list, even as we all keep adding to it!
What a gift he is to WLS!
STAFF SHOUT:
