STAFF SHOUT:
"I would like to have the office staff of the CTC (Thom Ziems, Jen Dayvolt, Trish Pakulski, and Becca Lee) get a shout out for their hard work and love for the CTC staff. They always help us out."
This group cares LOUDLY for their team!
PARENT SHOUT:
"Miss Jacob did something so small for my daughter but it was SO big to her. She’s been struggling with confidence lately and Miss Jacob gave her a “Fearless” Friendship bracelet on Friday Friendship Bracelet day! She told her it was because she was fearless to ride her horse. It boosted her confidence so much and she wore it proudly the next day at 3rd Grade Boost Camp! Thank you for taking the time to do the little things, Miss Jacob. They mean so much! ❤️🖤"
Ms. Jacob is the perfect balance of relationship/rigor and we are SO BLESSED she chose WLS!
PARENT SHOUT:
"I would like to shout out Whitmer distance track coach Eric Browning. Last night after practice my daughter left her Stanley in her unlocked locker by mistake. She didn't notice til this morning, after which she was devastated and went to school feeling really blue.
Well Coach Browning, who does not even work in the school, found it after she left last night and got up extra early today and was at the school waiting for her with her cup.
It's little things like this that's so big to our kids, that shows the love WLS teachers/coaches have for our kids that make me proud to be a 3rd generation Panther family. He could have waited till after school at practice but instead went an extra mile to make my kiddo smile!"
What a selfless, kind gesture! 🥰

PARENT SHOUT:
"Mrs. Kovin (Meadowvale 4th grade) is such a positive light! She is not only a phenomenal teacher but she allows her students to put fun into learning. She does so many hands-on activities & projects to enhance subject matter & so many extra fun things in her class that students will have many core memories from - one of those being the Eagle News. Students get to pick different topics and do news broadcasts in front of a green screen and Mrs. Kovin then incorporates a corresponding background behind them. The kids love it!
As a parent I am so thankful for the extra mile she goes. My daughter absolutely loves coming to school just to see her. She has thrived academically this year and that is because Mrs. Kovin has instilled a love for learning in her. It is clear Mrs. Kovin loves her job and I am so thankful for the active interest she takes in her students.”
All of those 'extras' add up to a LOT of the further development of a learner's mindset. Thank you Ms. Kovin for ALL you do!
