Michelle Magness for always helping with prek placements for our returning and new families!
Paula and Sue for rolling (literally on carts) with all the construction this summer and being as flexible with their working spaces as possible!

-From Natalie Udstuen (Assistant Principal at Lotus)
Michele for working with Rachelle and Lynn to get the student schedules out to our families.
Jill for her work on our Enchanted Backpack School Supply event.

the PBIS Committee for their work in preparing for the upcoming school year and our week 1 kickoff.
the Custodial team for another summer of hard work getting this 67 year old facility looking like she's 29 years old!!
-From Jeff Sefcik (Principal at Stanton)
To EVERYONE who helped make Summer School happen! I know I would miss someone if I tried to name everyone because there were so many hands and hearts who were part of it.
To the Paras at Lotus for showing me grace when we had an error that created stress that is definitely NOT how we want you to feel.
To my Business Office team for working so hard this summer while I had to be offsite to help support a dear friend battling cancer.
-From Heather 💓
Please send me your kudos for colleagues each week! I'll happily post them in this section!
THE FRIZ 5 IS BACK!!!!
I cannot WAIT to see how you plan to do your Personal Greetings at the Door (PGD) this year! If you need any help brainstorming how to keep this fresh for you and for your learners, I'd love to help in any way!!!!!
And, just as a reminder, here's WHY the PGD is so important as learners move in and out of our spaces...
