All,
One of the best parts of working in a school like ours is getting to see the heart, hustle, and care that each of you brings to our students and to one another. The Roaring Recognitions have already started coming in with shout-outs that speak volumes about the kind of people we’re lucky to call teammates, and I wanted to share a few with you.
Take a look at the kind words families and colleagues have shared recently. If you’re ever having a tough day, come back to this list. It’s a great reminder that what you do, and your INFLUENCE. Others are noticing.
Terri Davis
Jillian T. Rodgers shared that Ms. Terri is monumental in making students feel seen and loved. She said Terri was a bright light during her son's 2nd-grade year and that her kindness carries over into the community as well. “We are so grateful for Ms. Terri!”
Ms. Melissa
Kenad Johnson shared that Melissa always takes care of her son “like her own.” She described how Melissa supports him emotionally, helps with supplies and even school clothes, and said, “She goes above and beyond. We love her!”
Keonna Stone
Teela Stone wanted to recognize Keonna for her patience, communication, and deep care. “She was truly amazing to my son… we appreciate you and love you.”
The Third Grade Team
Sarah Dunn called this team “the BEST in the whole wide district,” thanking them for being welcoming, generous, and a joy to work alongside.
Schrea Hardin
An anonymous person recognized Schrea for putting in hours of work on her a la carte PD presentation, complete with handouts and make-and-takes. They described it as helpful, relatable, and a perfect example of Schrea’s commitment to BES students and their need to MOVE and have their sensory needs met.
Caitlin Smith
Caroline Hazelwood praised Caitlin for her willingness to try new things, collaborate, and lend a helping hand. “She is calm and selfless—a joy to work with.”
Sarah Dunn
Courtney Blair shared that Sarah went above and beyond at Open House, helping both a new student and his dad feel welcomed to BES. She added that Sarah even introduced herself outside of school over the weekend. “She’s amazing, and we’re excited for the year ahead!”
Mrs. Richardson
Annie Turner shared that Mrs. Richardson brought out the absolute best in her child, boosting his confidence and becoming a lasting favorite for the whole family. “She is a blessing and a gift to the students, school, and community.”
Let this be a reminder that the work you do doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep lifting each other up, and if someone on your team inspires you, take a minute to submit a Roaring Recognition for them. It only takes a minute to make someone’s day. You can do so HERE.
We’re lucky to be in this together.
