*INFO ABOUT SUMMER LUNCHES
STAFF SHOUT:
"Mrs. Woodward is the definition of a team player! She is always there to jump in and lend a hand whenever anyone is in need. Whether it is in the classroom, before / after school, or just being a positive presence, Anne is always there to lend a hand. We couldn't be more thankful to have her at Jefferson! Her dedication and support does not go unnoticed!"
Ms. Woodward is the best of the best!
"I need to do a whole school shoutout!
My child is special. Placed his own desk by the teacher so other kids would respect his "personal space" kind of special. He strives for perfection and making mistakes like erasing too hard, paper ripping, paper is broken, can lead to a can't do my homework, crying breakdown.
We learned ice can calm him in these moments and I even bought Mrs. Farthing an ice maker so he can get ice when he's frustrated.
Mrs. Farthing was out yesterday, and when Jacob had a meltdown in front of a substitute, his classmates rushed to help and grabbed him a cup of ice and tried to help.
Mrs. Farthing at Monac is an amazing, empathetic teacher who has modeled and taught methods that have become the norm in her room. This kind of empathy is so hard to teach, but so well modeled that instead of panic, these kids thought with their hearts and saw a way to help a kid who could have easily been labeled a problem.
Thank you to all the staff at Monac elementary that took a moment to see my child as someone who needed empathy and not one that needed punishment or shame. That terrible breakdown could have pushed him back into a deep depression. Instead he was shown more tools and solutions to avoid a future breakdown. (More shout outs to his para Ms. J. Moya, I.S. Ms. Dunno, and V.P. Mr. Aldridge. )
Our experience at WLS has been one of compassion that exceeds any expectations I could have ever asked for. "

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"I just cannot say enough wonderful things about Beth Pohl, who organizes all the subs for the district in the HR Department. She is the perfect person to make a wonderful first impression on someone entering WLS. She is kind, patient and goes above and beyond to help others. Anyone who calls her office is treated with the most warm welcome and helpful demeanor. We are so lucky to have her in WLS. She is definitely a behind-the-scenes hero."
Miss Beth is everything that was said above and MORE! We are so blessed to have her!
It's TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK and we have the BEST!

STAFF-TO-STAFF SHOUTOUT:
"Molly Toney is in her first year as an assistant principal at Shoreland Elementary this year and what a YEAR it has been! She has navigated so many new (and unexpected) events - all with grace, compassion, persistence, dedication, and attentiveness. Her counseling background helps tremendously with both students and staff. She keeps students at the very core of every decision every day, which is what makes the admin team at Shoreland such a truly dynamic force. We could not have asked for a better brighter addition to Shoreland than Molly! "
Ms. Toney is a gift to kids AND her coworkers! We are so inspired by her #integrity and #empathy!
PARENT SHOUT:
"I would like to give a shout out to Ms. Marya Knuth at Washington Junior High for the support she provided to my daughter on Spring Break. The change in routine became very difficult emotionally for my girl and Ms. Knuth volunteered to be available several days during her break to work with her. The help and support Ms. Knuth provided was incredibly helpful to turn tears into smiles. Ms. Knuth’s willingness to go the extra mile for us and dedication to all of her students is truly admirable. She makes a big difference in her student's lives and success."
Wow. We are so proud to hear this about our amazing teacher literally going the extra mile. Outstanding!
🎉Felicidades a nuestros Panthers!🎉
