STAFF SHOUT:
"Mrs. Joann Dillon is Meadowvale's Student Council Advisor and she is always working with students to put on school wide events for student and family enjoyment. Whether it is planning a spirit week, SpringTime Sprint, or the Jolly Jingle Jamboree. Mrs. Dillon is a fantastic 4th grade math teacher and she, along with her student council team, advocates for FUN and JOY to be a big part of the school year."
Joy should be part of learning and Ms. Dillon is such a great example of this!

STAFF SHOUT:
"Not only does Joy Roberts go above and beyond at Jefferson to help every student reach their potential, she also goes above and beyond to help her colleagues. When the printer was 'out of order' Joy put on her Ms. Fix it hat and got to work. Sacrificing her favorite pair of pants in the process, Joy brought the printer back to working order and saved the day for all staff who had hoped to use the printer."
Joy is a wonderful teacher, kind human AND (apparently) an efficient technician!
We are so lucky to have her!
STAFF SHOUT:
"Dena Parks is one amazing lady who works extremely hard each and every day in the Whitmer cafeteria! Her warm and friendly personality truly makes a difference in our school community. Dena will brighten any student's or staff's day and ensure that they are well taken care of. Whitmer is truly thankful for everything you do. Keep up the fantastic work!"
Feeding the hungry AND providing joy - this member of our Nutrition Team is a blessing to our team! Thank you for ALL you do, Ms. Parks!
PARENT TO STAFF SHOUT:
"These are pictures of my Emily at Girls Rock last night. This is such a heartwarming example of the beauty of inclusion in WLS, I wanted to share them with you.
So many people at Washington Junior High (Mr. Villar, Ms. Knuth, Ms. Ashley Williams, Suzi Leone, the Girls Rock Team) and Transportation have made this possible and such a positive experience for Emily. Ms. Williams has been staying with Emily at Girls Rock to support her and then walks with her to Whitmer to board the late bus home. Emily rides the bus home with her peers, but has the accommodation to be dropped off in front of our home.
I’m very thankful for everyone thinking outside of the box for Emily to participate. Emily feels welcome and loved at Washington because of everyone’s willingness to support her. Amazing job!"
It's cold outside, so why not SPRING into some sweet Baseball gear?

"Jessica is the sweetest soul with a heart of gold. She has the best sense of humor that you just love to hear on the toughest of days. She always has a smile for you just when you need it. She multi-tasks like a pro in one of the busiest parts of the building but still makes sure to connect with students and staff in the biggest 'little' ways. She is a huge asset to Shoreland that we are so incredibly lucky to have!"
"Substitute Staff shout out to Jessica Cole at Shoreland. She is so kind, helpful, and has a huge smile on her face everyday. She makes the world a better place. "
The kindest of hearts and nicest of humans, this employee makes us so proud she chose WLS!
Happy School Counseling Week!
WLS has the very BEST!
PARENTTO STAFF SHOUT:
"Nothing says dedication like showing up to a cheer competition on your day off to support your student. Our daughter invited her science teacher, Ms. Raquel (RockI) Jones, to one of her cheerleading competitions. I emailed her the schedule but also warned her that the schedule is very much subject to change. She replied that she’d be sure to be there early to make sure she didn’t miss a minute of it. She showed up and cheered her on, as well as some of her other students who happened to be competing that weekend too.
We appreciate her for seeing the value in showing up for her students when they ask - even if it means sitting through rounds of loud music and eating concession stand food on your day off. Your support meant the world to my daughter and didn’t go unnoticed! We appreciate your dedication, not only to making science class engaging and applicable, but to your students' interests outside of the classroom."
No coincidence that "ROCK" is in this ROCKSTAR teacher's name!
What an awesome thing to do for her students. 💖
WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HER ON STAFF!
🖤💙💛
STAFF SHOUT:
"To say that I work with the BEST 1st grade team in Washington Local is an understatement. Paige Bacon, Jennifer Earl and Erika Jackson are amazing in so many ways. If it weren't for this incredible team at Shoreland, I'm not sure where I would be. They have picked me up on bad days and made me see the brighter side in stressful situations. We work together as a TEAM daily and make TEAM decisions. Remember, there is no "I" in "team." I am so blessed to work with the BEST :)"
Teamwork definitely makes the dream work!
How wonderful to see the support of this team!

"Mrs. Sarah Osborn is an amazing Intervention Specialist at Hiawatha. She is dedicated to not only her students but to all the students at Hiawatha. She works collaboratively with families, paraprofessionals, and teachers. The way she supports, uplifts, and mentors everyone to teach lifelong skills is invaluable. She is also very humble. So many have been fortunate to have learned so much from her! In the words of some of her students, Mrs. Osborn is "EPIC"!"
