*PREPARE TO HEAR BOOMS DURING THIS FRIDAY'S FOOTBALL GAME*
PARENT TO STAFF SHOUT:
"I wanted to recognize Mr. Steve at Shoreland, who has been nothing short of amazing with Isaac. Isaac has bonded with him so quickly. Mr. Steve is not only a constant source of support for Isaac but also has quickly become Isaac’s “person”. To know that Isaac is understood and has someone with him that genuinely has also bonded with him while he is at school is one of the most comforting things a special needs parent could ever ask for❤️ And Mr. Steve needs an award for running the pumpkin run in his doc martens 😂 And also let me add that they ran the pumpkin run together, holding hands most of the way and I think it was the sweetest thing ever. Mr. Steve is truly so special."
What an incredible feeling to know your child has bonded with a staff member!
STAFF SHOUT:
"I want to recognize our amazing Panther room crew! (Not pictured Mr. Moore) this team has put so much work into what they do daily! The kids are happy and they are progressing with academics! There are so many tough days but you would NEVER know walking into that classroom. This team is always smiling, laughing and they work SO well together! Mrs. Hubell is so full of knowledge and is willing to help anyone not only in her Panther room but here at Greenwood! I’m proud and honored to call them my colleagues! They are doing a fantastic job!!"
Finding joy in everyday work is so inspiring! Way to go Greenwood Panther Room crew!

PARENT-TO-STAFF:
"I have a shining star at WLS to highlight! I wanted to share how impressed I am with my daughter's science teacher at Washington, Ahren Jacobs. Recently, he took time to participate in an IEP team meeting and was so helpful; he answered my questions thoroughly. He helped me understand the areas she is doing well and where she could use extra support. My daughter’s disability challenges her to feel comfortable speaking in a group. Mr. Jacobs shared an example that she raised her hand in class to answer a question that none of the other students knew. He was so proud and complimentary towards her for sharing her knowledge with the class and coming out of her comfort zone. Thank you Mr. Jacobs for the gentleness and compassion you have provided to my daughter. I am very grateful that you are her teacher!"
Making students feel comfortable and empowered = Way to go, Mr. Jacobs! 😊
Celebrate a drug-free lifestyle with your WLS Family!
STAFF SHOUT:
"Emilie Ponke is an outstanding paraprofessional! She knows the student she works with extremely well, and does so much to make sure this student keeps making big leaps. She is always willing to learn and try new things to best support this kiddo. Emilie has been an instrumental part in this student's growth. She is absolutely awesome at what she does! THANK YOU EMILIE!"
Building relationships with students is the most important part of the job and Ms. Ponke excels!
SAVE THE DATE!
ALL ARE WELCOME!
STAFF SHOUT:
"Tommy Broyles, Todd Wozniak, Brittanie Brillhart are lifesavers! Not only are these 3 great mechanics, they also drive routes when we are short. They willingly drive for field trips, to supplement our bus drivers, ensuring kiddos get to their sporting events. I appreciate these 3 so much! It takes everyone to make everything work and we are so grateful to them."
Awesome! Thank you so much for all of your work!
Thursday! Come out and celebrate this awesome community with one of our longest standing traditions!!
STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"Leighann Schroyer, or Miss Leighann as we call her, is a rockstar paraprofessional! Over the last three years she has worked with kindergarten students, taking the time to truly learn students and find the best ways to provide academic and behavior support. As a member of Meadowvale's Parent Club, Miss Leighann took on the task of researching, getting price quotes, and getting a company out here to get Meadowvale a new school sign! Regardless of her role, Miss Leighann can be counted on to provide support to students, families, staff, and the school as a role. We appreciate her for all she does!"
And that new sign looks fabulous! Thank you Ms. Schroyer for all you do!
IMPORTANT: We are using a new system and EVERYONE must opt-in to receive texts!

"Stacey Moore is an amazing KIA at Shoreland! She goes above & beyond my expectations and is always willing to go with the flow, helping where she is needed! I could not do this job without her!"
