We are proud to announce our 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year, honoring two individuals who make a lasting impact on our school community. Melissa Smith, our outstanding 1st grade teacher, has been named Teacher of the Year for her dedication to student success, her nurturing classroom environment, and her passion for helping young learners build strong academic and social foundations. Ms. Smith’s commitment to excellence and her positive influence on students truly reflect the heart of our school. We are also excited to recognize Mr. Wilson as our Support Staff of the Year. As our custodian, Mr. Wilson goes above and beyond each day to ensure our school is a safe, clean, and welcoming place for students, staff, and visitors. Congratulations to both Ms. Smith and Mr. Wilson, and thank you for all you do to support our students and school community.
