Celebrating Our Amazing Staff

This school year, we are proud to recognize three outstanding staff members whose dedication, professionalism, and heart for students truly stood out. While each was honored with a different award, they all share one thing in common: the positive impact they make every single day.

Mrs Brandley, first grade teacher, was awarded with Teacher of the Year. She consistently goes above and beyond to support students and colleagues. Her commitment and leadership make our school a better place!

Mrs Smith, Kindergarten teacher, was awarded with the 25/26 Crystal Apple Award in recognition of a continued dedication to the students. Mrs Smith brings passion, creativity, and care into everything she does. We are grateful for the difference she make in the lives of our students.

Mrs Porter, assistant secretary, was awarded with the 25/26 Outstanding Employee Recognition in recognition of a continued dedication to the students and faculty. Mrs Porter uses her creativity, kindness, and technical skills to benefit our students and staff.

Please join us in congratulating these three individuals and thanking them for their continued service and commitment to our school. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and our school community is stronger because of them. We are so fortunate to have them on our team! 💙🎉
