PARENT-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:

"I would like to recognize Jefferson teacher Mr. Brett Herr, whose consistent kindness and dedication have provided my son with both comfort and confidence throughout the roller coaster ride that is junior high. He has gone above and beyond to offer support and encouragement and exemplifies the very best of teaching. He has truly made a meaningful difference in my son’s educational journey and I am deeply grateful."

Guiding students during sometimes-tumultuous times of growth can be difficult, but teachers like Mr. Herr continue to believe that EVERY STUDENT MATTERS so he makes every moment count!

STAFF SHOUT:

"I would like to shout out Whitmer teacher, Avion Franklin. Avion has a good relationship with every single student he comes in contact with, and he works tirelessly. I consistently see Avion stay after work to help kids and support all of our various sports programs."

Once a student at Whitmer, Avion now selflessly serves the students who have come after him. He is a steady force of support for all of our kids and we are so grateful for him!

STAFF SHOUTOUT:

"Melissa Begin's organization and dedication to students is amazing! She organizes Chromebooks for the entire Whitmer building and makes personal connections with students and staff while doing it. Her commitment that "every student matters" is seen daily in her interactions with our students."

Ms. Begin is one of the kindest, most helpful people ever and WHS is so lucky to have her!

STAFF SHOUTOUT: “I wanted to express my appreciation to Jerry Bell and Jenny Wietro for the dedication, love and compassion they show to the students at Whitmer High School. Both of my children have special needs. Jerry and Jenny have taken additional time to support my children, myself and staff to help the transition back to school be successful. As a parent, it means a lot to me that Whitmer High School is led with such strength, and that its leadership team takes the time to connect with students and families on a personal level. The actions of Jerry and Jenny reinforce what a caring and positive environment WLS promotes and that every student matters. Thank you both for all you have done for my children and the community!"
