"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to Nurse Gabby, Dave Hamen and Taylor Wietrzykowski for attending to my son during a medical emergency. They helped me keep him calm and ensured his safety until emergency services arrived. It is a great comfort to see the love this group has for their students and willingness to go the extra mile."

To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed a real fortune cookie treat and compared their handwritten fortunes to the real ones — a fun and thoughtful way to wrap up the project!
"Both Mr. Villar and Miss Rupp went above and beyond to ensure my daughters transition to Washington Jr. High was a successful and pleasant one! She and I were very nervous coming into this new situation and they took every concern we had and crushed it. I thought this year would be a very rough transition but due to their overwhelming kindness and due diligence it’s been a successful start so far! I can’t thank them enough! 💙💛

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!"
