Stephanie McHugh always greets me with the brightest smile on the first day of school. It always reminds me how much fun the classroom can be if you bring the right attitude to Opening Day. Thanks, Steph!
Sukhi Goomer is tackling a whole new world this year and working with her to reconfigure her room for special student needs helped me look at my own room through new eyes once again. Thanks, Sukhi!
Jessica Dumont is my new neighbor upstairs. Listening to her enthusiasm for all she had planned in her very limited time in September made me realize I needed to step up my game. Thanks, Jessica!
Shout out to Tori Hart & Sharin Rello for collaborating on the music/specialist extension schedule. Thanks to them, we are using the new website features and have a great-looking, color-coded, easy-to-update schedule. Thank you, Tori & Sharin!
Shout out to the WEST side! We couldn't do dismissal without you. Thanks for keeping track of all the students on I-10 (Janice), I-12 (Lori), I-13 (Kathleen), I-14 (Howard), I-17 (Drea), I-19 (Erin), I-20 (Jen & Gordon), I-21 (Erika), I-23 (Ali & Scott), and the Boys & Girls Club (Donna & Jill). You ROCK.
It is has been wonderful to reconnect with so many of my LIS collegues. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Looking forward to a wonderful school year.
We couldn't function in the health office without the help of the main office ladies and Jen in guidance. They serve as security guards, triage nurses, PR specialists, special investigators and stand-up comics when humor is needed! Thank you, Ladies!!
Shout out to Scott Kleinman, who has made the beginning of my second year teaching a breeze! His positive attitude is infectious and his extensive knowledge and experience is unparalleled.
