A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO OUR SENIORS IN CONSTRUCTION! 👏
Today, our senior construction students showed empathy, integrity and adaptability.
They had some students touring the construction program who could need a little extra assistance, patience, and guidance, and these seniors stepped right in without hesitation. They offered positive encouragement, helpful direction, and made sure everyone felt welcomed and supported. They were respectful, patient, calm, and incredibly helpful throughout the process.
It was amazing to see them demonstrate not only their leadership skills but also their kindness, understanding, and willingness to help others.
This is what leadership, compassion, and being a great role model looks like. - and we are so proud of our Panthers!

"Gotta give a big shout out to Shelly Ruiz, the school psychologist at Meadowvale! Shelly's energy is so amazing and kind and her care for our students is even more so. When a call for help comes out over the walkie and you hear, "Ruiz responding" it's like all feels right in the world for just a moment. The way she works so calmly, provides such reassurance, and gets right down to whatever level the student needs is a beautiful thing to see. We are beyond lucky to have her."

There was a time when many questioned whether Henry could succeed in a general education setting. I believed in him, advocated for him, and fought for the opportunity to prove just how capable he is. I am beyond blessed to have a team that sees his potential and believes in him just as much as I do.
Jaclyn Johnson, the bond you’ve built with Henry is something I could never have imagined. Your love, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything you do, and his growth in such a short time speaks volumes.
Mrs. Annie Rayburn, thank you for your patience and for always being a safe, calming space for Henry. Knowing he has that comfort means more than you’ll ever know.
Miss Julia Ehlert, I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Navigating this new chapter with Henry being nonverbal has come with challenges, but you’ve approached it with so much grace, love, and patience.
