Parent Shout:

“My son’s 2nd grade teacher at McGregor, Ms. Ersepke, is truly exceptional, and we feel so lucky to have her. She goes above and beyond every single day, creating a classroom environment that is not only engaging and supportive, but also filled with encouragement and positivity.

One of the things that sets her apart is her consistent communication. She doesn’t just reach out when there’s something important to address—she makes it a point to share the good, celebrating even the small victories and positive moments our child experiences throughout the day. Those messages mean so much and give us a real window into how our child is growing and thriving in her classroom.

What really speaks to her dedication is the way she shows up outside of the classroom as well. Seeing her take the time to attend the boys and girls baseball and softball games on April 25th meant the world to the kids and families. It’s a reflection of how much she genuinely cares about her students as individuals, not just learners.

She is an amazing teacher who makes a lasting impact, and her kindness, enthusiasm, and commitment do not go unnoticed. Thank you Ms. Ersepke!”

STAFF SHOUT:
"I would like to give a special shoutout to an incredible bus driver and safety aide who consistently goes above and beyond. Collin Pahle's patience, guidance, and genuine care for our students does not go unnoticed. The way he interacts with each child—making them feel seen, heard, and supported—is truly something special. He is also a constant source of support and encouragement to his coworkers, and his professionalism, compassion, and willingness to help others truly sets him apart.  Thank you Collin for all that you do each day—you are making a lasting impact in so many lives. You are missed bunches at Silver Creek by students and staff!"

Our safety aides and bus drivers continue to change lives every day and this authentic shoutout for Mr. P is a great example!

PARENT SHOUT:

"Mrs. Forche (Monac, 1st grade) is such an inspiring educator. She sees the potential in students even when they don’t yet see it in themselves. Her patience and passion for reading helped my daughter blossom into a more confident reader. I’m so thankful my daughter will always remember having a first grade teacher who created such a warm and inclusive environment for her at school. Mrs.Forche is a true gem!"

When an educator is patient and consistent, parents notice. Students notice.
And we definitely notice Ms. Forche!

STAFF SHOUT:

"Whitmer JH boys and girls track and field teams would love to thank Bus Drivers, Jennifer Loomis and Holly Martin for getting both teams to Napoleon for our track meet last Wednesday in some of the roughest conditions imaginable that popped up out of nowhere! They are true masters at what they do!"

Driving calmly in adverse conditions is a skill in itself, but doing it with dozens of children on board is an ART!

Today on "Scoop with the Supt," we sit down with journalism advisor Colleen Sergent and four talented 8th grade student reporters from Jefferson to talk about their exciting work in the school’s journalism program. The students share what they’ve learned about writing, reporting, and teamwork while producing the Jefferson newspaper (The Panther Public), and how they’re using creativity and social media to keep their classmates informed and engaged. It’s a fun conversation about student voice, real-world skills, and the power of storytelling.

PARENT SHOUT:

"My daughter is on the JH track team and the coaches put her in throwing, a new thing to her, as she has never done it before. Tonight she was in her 1st track invitational and Whitmer teacher and Coach Curt Hartman has taken her under his wing and been working with her so much. Today at the meet, he took extra time to spend with her to improve her form. He has not only given my daughter a positive role model but has made her love throwing. He takes his time to show her what she needs to improve on and what she is doing right! He also coached both of my sons. Whitmer has such a positive role model in Coach Hartman!"

Mr. Hartman is one of the kindest, most helpful people. We are so proud he represents WLS!
