To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed a real fortune cookie treat and compared their handwritten fortunes to the real ones — a fun and thoughtful way to wrap up the project!
"Both Mr. Villar and Miss Rupp went above and beyond to ensure my daughters transition to Washington Jr. High was a successful and pleasant one! She and I were very nervous coming into this new situation and they took every concern we had and crushed it. I thought this year would be a very rough transition but due to their overwhelming kindness and due diligence it’s been a successful start so far! I can’t thank them enough! 💙💛

This superstar staff member got TWO shoutouts - one from a parent and one from a staff member!
PARENT SHOUT:
"Mrs. O’Brien is the long term sub currently at Meadowvale Elementary for Physical Education. She has stepped right into the role perfectly and the students absolutely adore her! My kids are coming home every week after their PE day so excited to share what new activity they did & wanting to recreate the game/activity at home with their friends. I know it’s super hard sometimes to step into a role last-minute, but she has done such an amazing job! I know the students will miss her so much when she leaves. Thank you, Mrs O'Brien, for all you are doing!"
STAFF SHOUT:
"A huge shout-out to Sarah O'Brien, who has been an incredible long-term substitute for Physical Education at Meadowvale! She has provided students with awesome experiences that focus on both individual skill development (like in soccer) and teamwork. Sarah also organized this year's Pumpkin Run, mapping a new course that challenged our Eagles to do their very best. We are exceptionally lucky to have Sarah's dedication and enthusiasm at Meadowvale!"

Her positivity, leadership, and commitment make all the difference — we’re so lucky to have her!"
Ms. Roberts is fun and kind. Because of both, her students (and we!) LOVE HER!

"A huge shout-out to Meadowvale 3rd grade teacher, Kristin McCorkle, for her incredible dedication to making every student feel welcome! When a new student joined her class, she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. Before the student even stepped through the door, Mrs. McCorkle had already organized a student welcoming committee, ensured the student had a clear space, and arranged for peer buddies to offer a friendly greeting, guide them through the school, and sit with them at lunch. Her proactive effort demonstrates a true commitment to building an inclusive and supportive classroom community."
Inclusion happens because of people like Kristin McCorkle. 💙

1. "Mrs. Sabrina Wilson is a wonderful Whitmer teacher! She is a fabulous advocate for her students to be sure they are growing and successful, in not only the classroom, but also in life! Her warmth and humor are a huge bonus for her students as well. I am proud to work alongside her!"
2. "Sabrina provides a safe and fun environment for her students. Allowing them to be comfortable and feel safe to be themselves. She also teaches them many life skills. Such as cooking and laundry.
