STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
Don Dottei and Art Winzenried are retired Washington Local bus drivers that chose to come back and sub for us. Although they are both happy in their retirement, and would rather not drive as much as we ask them to, they continue week in and week out to save us.
Each week we have more field trips than we can fill, and because of Don and Art's dedication, it's possible for students to have an experience outside the classroom.
They are definitely our Transportation heroes!!

STUDENT SHOUT:
"Mrs Baldwin helped me in so many ways with math. She was so patient with me when I didn't understand.she is overall a good teacher. She was my favorite. She was hard on me but that made me do better. I also loved her teaching skills every day. I would walk into her class and she would say hello and put a smile on my face. As a freshman I still would go to her if I had any problems with anything. That is how much she means to me. She helped me catch up if I was behind on math. Thank you for being the person you are, Mrs Baldwin!"
Student praise is always so heartfelt and right on the money! What an impact Ms. B made!

"I’m in a new position at Jefferson, and I just wanted to take a moment to give a heartfelt shout out to a few amazing colleagues from across the district: Kim Huey (Jefferson), Stephanie Ewing (Whitmer), Theresa Laser (Washington), Courtney Sifuentes (Washington), Wendy Kiser (Whitmer), and Susan Mee (Meadowvale).
From day one, they have all been incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive. Every time I’ve had a question, they’ve gone above and beyond to guide me and make sure I had what I needed. I feel truly lucky to be working alongside such a dedicated and thoughtful group. Just wanted to share some appreciation — they deserve it!"
Being new is not easy - but being kind sure is for this rockstar team!

"Its hard to be brief, but I will do my best 🙂 I graduated from Whitmer and was a Firebird myself, my first year in WLS was my 6th grade year at Shoreland. Fast forward to this year, my kids started their first year in Shoreland/WLS and I know how many emotions run through you starting at new school. The staff at Shoreland has welcomed us with every arm wide open ❤️ one of my kids recently made a remark that his new school is way better than his old school & I truly believe its not just his teacher or classmates, its the school and all the hands working to make it a safe and happy place for our kids. So thank you to every person at Shoreland Elementary for literally just being you! "

"A huge thank you to Kristen & Kathy in the Jefferson cafeteria for going above and beyond to make our new free breakfast and lunch program shine! 🥳
They created a gorgeous display showing exactly what a complete breakfast and complete lunch look like. 🍳🥛🍎🍕 Not only does this help students understand the program better, but it also gives them a fun visual to see what a balanced meal looks like.
What makes this extra special? 💛 They did this on their own time, simply because they care about helping students and making things easier for them. That kind of initiative and love is what makes our schools feel like family. They have also decorated the entire cafeteria, making it so welcoming!
We are so lucky to have staff who put their heart into everything they do for kids—this sweet project is just one more example of how much they truly care. 💙💛
Way to go, to our amazing cafeteria crew—you’re feeding both stomachs and hearts every single day! 💫👏"
THIS CREW IS THE DEFINITION OF "ABOVE AND BEYOND!"
