STAFF SHOUT: "Lisa has been the custodian for the Whitmer Panther rooms for years. Today was her last day as she is moving to another building. She not only put pride into her work, she also has great relationships with each student and knew each one by their first name. She is truly one of a kind and will be missed dearly." She is so kind and helpful. WE ARE ALL SO LUCKY TO HAVE MISS LISA!

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT: "This is a huge shout out to Shoreland student, Ali, and Shoreland principal, Mr. Bott. To further connect with his student, Mr. Bott joined Ali in fasting for Ramadan during the entire month of March. Ali made sure to check-in daily with Mr. Bott and both became great accountability partners for each other. The daily conversations of perseverance, accountability, self-discipline, and integrity became so much more than fasting, leading to incredible life lessons for BOTH of them! Huge kudos to both of these gentlemen for going the extra mile, in and out of school!" Adults who invest in kids' lives make a lifelong impact - and the rewards for BOTH are monumental! We love letting the student become the teacher! Way to go Mr. Bott!

Whether the day is up or the day feels down, our paras are always the BEST around. Measure on charts or track them on grids, these loving employees are the BEST for our kids! HAPPY SCHOOL PARA DAY!

PRESCHOOL NEWS:

PARENT/STAFF SHOUT: "Meadowvale Intervention Specialist, Katelyn Wudel is well deserving of this shout-out. Miss Wudel drove to Chicago to visit family, and took time out of her trip to attend a student's cheer competition, staying for the entire time to support. This type of investment that Miss Wudel gives to her students is the norm. Miss Wudel not only provides support and instruction in the classroom, but goes above and beyond by attending games, dance recitals, competitions, and school-sponsored events, constantly showing up for her current and former students to let them know she cares. We are so lucky to have her!" What an incredible gesture of support and love to show a student, even hundreds of miles away. WOW!

📏MEASURING MINDS! 📏 The students in Mrs. Stacy's 6th grade math classes at Monac created structures using 6 different nets as part of a Surface Area Unit. This lesson helped solidify the concept of looking at a flat net of a 3D shape and visualizing what the shape would look like in real life. They were then tasked with calculating the surface area of their entire structure! 😊They rocked it and had so much fun while learning a challenging concept.

Tomorrow!
