Bre Jiminez

I am incredibly grateful for Bre and the dedication she brings to the classroom every day. She has a deep understanding of her role, proactively identifying student needs and providing both academic and behavioral support with care and attentiveness. Her work is consistently high-quality, ensuring that students remain engaged and receive individualized help when needed. Bre is a fantastic team player, collaborating seamlessly with both staff and students while always maintaining a positive and supportive presence. She is dependable, always prepared, and willing to step in wherever needed without hesitation. Her adaptability and problem-solving mindset allow her to navigate challenges with ease, and she consistently takes initiative to support students beyond what is expected. Most importantly, she prioritizes student safety and confidentiality, creating a structured and secure learning environment where all students feel supported. Bre’s contributions to the classroom are invaluable, and I truly appreciate all that she does.

Connie Allen

Connie takes great pride in her work. Keeping the building safe and clean matters to her. I appreciate her quick response to the many custodial issues that happen throughout the day. Many of the clean ups aren't for the faint of heart, but Connie goes about her business and gets the job done. I appreciate Connie's help being a 'detective' to help identify students who are making our bathrooms messy. Clean bathrooms show students safety and Connie understands that. Thank you for all your work, Connie.

Mary Martin

It takes a village to raise a middle schooler. It is not only the staff who work with the students all day but also staff who may only be in the building for an hour or two. Students look for adults to be in their corner. Many add recess aide Mary Martin to their corner as she shows how much she cares and is invested in them. On spirit days, it is hard to match Mary and her outfits. Thank you, Mary, for supporting our students.
