DOUBLE STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"We want to give a massive shout-out and heartfelt thank you to Gaylene McGrath and Nicole Fall (Hiwatha cafeteria) for everything you do day in and day out. While teachers and students often get the spotlight, you are the true unsung heroes behind the scenes, fueling our school community with much more than just food.
Whether you're serving up lunch, remembering a student's favorite meal, or simply taking the time to make a child feel seen and valued, your kindness and dedication shines through. You make the student's birthday a special day by singing during their lunch session. Your warm smiles, personal touches, and the genuine care you show to the children every day truly makes a difference!
Your job is hard work, yet you approach it with a positive attitude and a commitment to the students that is truly inspiring.
Thank you for being our "Super Lunch Heroes." We appreciate you both more than words can express!
Love, your Hiawatha Family!"
WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE?🥹 Our school cafeteria staff are the most selfless and giving people and Ms. McGrath and Ms. Fall are PERFECT EXAMPLES!

"I was in the classroom with Ms. Bronko (Meadowvale) and I absolutely love her ways. She makes her students feel at home and loved. She has a couple students that take more attention, and when they act out she handles the situations so well. She is doing amazing as a second year teacher and the kids are so lucky to have her!"
Ms. Bronikowski is such a gift to her students!

"Mr. Thompson is an incredible teacher and person. He explains his subject in a way that is easy to understand and learn. Beyond that, he does a great job checking in on students both academically and personally. The district is blessed to have a teacher like him."
Having a student attest that our staff cares is the BEST compliment we can receive - and Mr. Thompson fully deserves this one!

THIS STAFF MEMBER RECEIVED SHOUTS FROM 3 SEPARATE STUDENTS!
1. Mr. Ruiz is one lovable individual, he's always there for his students and tells them what they need to hear. When needed Mr. Ruiz is always willing to lend a helping hand , he's always willing to listen to someone's day or help when someone is feeling down.He always brings a smile to a room whilst also helping students with his work. He is a loving human who has always wanted to share his love with others. Mr Ruiz has helped many of me and my friends so much. Forever grateful and he's made a huge impact on lots of individuals.
2. Mr.Ruiz is one of the reasons that I made it through middle school. He made me feel better every time I was upset or having a horrible day. I would tell him all of my problems and drama and he would give me so much good advice and he just made every day an amazing day. He would always compliment my outfits and hair and that made me have a good day. He is just an amazing teacher and so many people can say the same thing. Thank you so much Mr.Ruiz, I honestly don't know what I would've done without you to help me.
3. He always brings a great and positive attitude and always has a bright smile. Always brings the vibes.
Their words say it all! We love our supportive staff!

"I HAVE to shout out the amazing counselors at Shoreland. Mrs. Harris is tried and true, and Mrs. Cheeks is new to us this year, but has fit right in as a vital piece of our puzzle.
