HAVE DINNER PLANS? Enjoy delicious food and support Girls Soccer night! Tell them you're with WHITMER!
STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"I want to shout out Officer Jeff at Whitmer! Officer Jeff goes out of his way to introduce himself and communicate with our students in the Panther room. He is patient, polite and respectful. The kids love talking to him and asking him questions. He takes the time to answer them and hold a conversation with them. I think it's amazing that he wants to get to know the students so they feel safe and comfortable with him. Every school should have someone like Officer Jeff!"
Our School Resource Officers go above and beyond and Officer Jeff is the PERFECT example! Thank you!
STAFF SHOUT:
"Sending the biggest shout out and thanks to Mrs. Susan Mee, the cheerful central nervous system of the place we affectionately call: The Meadows.
She thrives in both chaos and calm alike with such efficient gracefulness. It's so cool to see her work her magic. Delivery rate is consistently 12/10. Just the other day I had a problem I was talking to our awesome principal Ms. Melissa Hall about and quicker than two shakes of a lamb's tail, I heard Susan behind me on the phone already sourcing solutions for me!
She is the absolute best of the best and the definition of a pleasure to work with!"
To know her is to love her light! Thank you, Ms. Mee for ALL you do!

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"I wanted to give a shout out to 4th Grade Teacher Megan Browder at Hiawatha. She has been going above and beyond for her students with Outside-of-the-Box lesson planning, making sure all of them are supported and included in activities, and making their classroom and our school a safe space for them to learn and grow as individuals. I have heard her students say on numerous occasions that she is the best teacher they've ever had!"

PARENT-TO-STAFF SHOUT:
"Ms. Heminger at Meadowvale took time this morning to make my son feel better about going to the YMCA before-school care. He was full meltdown and she stopped what she was doing in her busy morning and came over and talked with Graham and helped me calm him down. I can’t express how much my 6am brain needed that little extra nudge. It takes a village and I’m so glad she’s in ours!"
Way to go Ms.H!
Plan out your POLKA DOTS!
