August Teachers of the Month: Ms. Leigh Denoon & Ms. Laneda Owens
August Paraprofessional of the Month: Mrs. Jessica Campbell
Ms. Denoon has taken on extra duties time and again. She has risen to the challenge of accepting all her students. Her classroom is a well-oiled machine and safe space for our students. She shows excellent pacing during small-group instruction, moving quickly enough to keep students engaged without leaving anyone behind. She is patient and dedicated to all her students.
Congratulations, Ms. Denoon!
Ms. Owens has been teaching for many years, and instead of losing passion, hers continues to grow stronger each year. She is powerful and calm at the same time. Her instruction and classroom management are impeccable, and she truly loves and cares for her students. She can often be found leading small-group instruction during morning interventions and is always fully engaged with our students throughout the day.
Congratulations, Ms. Owens!
Mrs. Campbell has stepped up in a big way this year, even continuing to run small-group instruction when Mrs. Parkinson was out. Her dedication and initiative make her a true asset to our school.
