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!"

"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. 💙

STAFF SHOUT (combined from 2 different people!):
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. Sabrina and her students help keep the Clothing Closet going by sorting, washing and folding the donations that come in. She is an amazing teacher and person!"
Ms. Wilson is unstoppable.

PARENT SHOUT:
"I’d like to express gratitude to Coach Justin Keller for his dedication, leadership, and positive impact on my son’s life both on and off the field. Thank you for believing in, and taking a chance on him despite his past, also for holding him accountable for his actions. He’s really helping the young men on the team grow as players and as a person."
Coaches devote countless hours into molding young people and Coach Keller has certainly made an impact on many!

Thanks to BRONDES FORD for, once again, providing the candy for this anual event!
"Miss Kocar is a wonderful teacher from Jefferson who goes above and beyond for my son. She relates to him and cares so much to learn from him and notices even the small things, when he isn’t himself. It definitely makes me so relaxed & at ease when sending him to school! Thank you for all your efforts."
Is there anything better than knowing your child is cared for in your absence? Ms. Kocar is incredible!

"Greenwood had an absolutely awesome Color Run, and was also an awesome example of parent volunteers and staff pulling together in a time of need. When a student needed assistance, parent volunteers and Greenwood staff immediately sprung to action to make sure the person was okay, redirecting the path of the run without a big disruption to the event. It was just one of those times when you see exactly what community means. And it was beautiful!"

Her energy, compassion, and dedication shine through in everything she does. Brittany fits right in with both students and staff — it feels like she’s been part of the team forever! We love her huge heart, positive attitude, and the way she makes a difference every single day. 💛"

"I wanted to shout out Mr. Wagner for having such a positive impact on a student’s life! Every morning when this student comes in, he says hello to me AND Mr. Wagner. During Fun Friday, he wanted Mr. Wagner to watch him swing. Not only did he come swing with Jeffery, they took this sweet picture! I’ve never seen him have as much fun on our Fun Friday as he did this day with Mr. Wagner. Silver Creek is so lucky to have him as an addition to our team!"
Making kids feel like time with them is valuable to you... Mr. Wagner has this gift!
