PES November Staff and Teacher of the Month: Brenna Collins, Reading Assistant and Carly Jenne, Kindergarten Teacher
Read what their colleagues have to say about them:
Staff of the Month: Brenna Collins
I know I can always count on Brenna! She has helped me in my classroom many times and I have always felt at ease when I knew she was covering while I had to be gone! All the students love her!
Brenna is always willing to step in and help out. In my own classroom she works hard to see that her reading groups are given every opportunity to reach their potential and does this with a positive attitude. I'm thankful to have her helping in my classroom but also here at the elementary.
Teacher of the Month: Carly Jenne
Carly always has a positive attitude and is encouraging to all. She loves her students and truly has a passion for teaching.
She is so sweet and the kids absolutely love her! All of my students want to go back and give her hugs. Now that is the sign of a good teacher, one that they will never forget!
Carly is an amazing teacher. She truly loves what she does and the littles she has in her room. She accommodates each student and helps them learn and grow in their own way. She is always smiling and a positive voice each day. You can tell that teaching is her calling.
We are so thankful for each of these ladies and the impact they have on students daily! #DragonCARES
Thank you for your patience during what we foresee to be a rainy drop off this morning. For safety reasons, we will not unload students up top in rain or bad weather. Please pull directly in front of the building.
