From Aubry: A bit late, but huge shout out to Trevor Hathaway for organizing our San Juan river trip this year! It took a lot of work on his end, but the kids had a blast and it was a valuable experience for everyone. Looking forward to next year!
From Leah: Shout out to Ellen, Maria, Mikkel, Sharlie and Laura: You rock ladies! Thank you for being so efficient and helpful. The school could not run without all of you!
From Jenn F: Ron Kuzara- RP Ron is what I'm calling you now. I have enjoyed working with you so much these past few months, especially through the RP lens. Being present during your conversations with students has truly been a pleasure. Thank you for all you do, Ron. I wish you the world in your future adventures!!!!
From Jenn F: George Moate- I can't tell you what a privilege it's been working in the same environment with you. I love listening to your conversations with students and how you manage the array of "opportunities" we get in here with extreme thought, care, compassion and authenticity. You have become one of my greatest teacher role models, and I will appreciate this experience forever, as I have grown so much as a human being and as a teacher of children from our conversations, chats about perspectives and what's "truly important", and our problem solving sessions working with students together. Our students and all who have had the privilege of knowing you and growing with you/because of you are beyond lucky to have had that opportunity. Even if I can't get you to eat vegetables at work (hahahahaha- there's still some time left), I still think you're the greatest teaching partner I could have asked for returning to work from what I experienced earlier this school year. You are quite magical, Mr. Moate.
From Randi: Jennifer Fedrio, she makes each student feel welcome and respected, while helping them to think about their actions and consequences.
From Randi: Lynn Mavrek-Gurne: She always has a super positive attitude and inspires other teachers towards excellence.
From Marie O: Sara M. has been such a go-getter with planning and organizing the Catalina Trip, and I greatly appreciate her enthusiasm and desire to make things happen!
From Marie O: Tammy N., Trevor, and Ivan were such great leaders for our 8th graders on the Catalina trip last week. I appreciate their help in making it happen and for their role in providing our 8th graders with a safe and memorable experience!
