AACPS HPED "Shout Out"
AACPS HPED "Shout Out"
It is important to recognize the many wonderful things that are taking place in AACPS HPED every single day.
Please take a moment to nominate an amazing colleague to be featured in our "Shout Out" section each month!
This month's AACPS HPED "Shout Outs" go to...
Tracy Burke (Linthicum ES) - I ran into an issue with my climbing equipment and I emailed Tracy since she currently has a set. She not only responded right after teaching her classes, she went above and beyond to send me pictures, her set up idea, input on what is working for her classes, feedback on how her students are doing and motivation. I could feel her excitement about the equipment through the tone of her email. Tracy, I appreciate your support and your positivity! Your school is blessed to have you and I am thankful to have you as a teammate! ~ Jen Winterling (Lakeshore ES)
Meghan Bellarin (HPED Central Office) - I had a scheduling issue with my climbing equipment because of election day but Meghan helped me through a solution! She is willing to help me with a crazy quick early morning set up after our entire gym has to be cleared for elections! She even got extra hands to help in asking Christiana! I appreciate your support Meghan!! You help to make HPED such an amazing team to be a part of! ~ Jen Winterling (Lakeshore ES)
