• Patrick Parker, Indian Creek Elementary - "Mr. Parker has been outside each morning welcoming Kindergarteners and first graders with such a warm and energetic smile. It's a wonderful and welcoming site every morning, especially for a little kindergartener who is still a little nervous and getting use to his new school. Thank you, Coach!”
• Brittany Gullett, Castle Hills Elementary - “Mrs. Gullett has been an exceptional teacher for my son this past year. Her dedication, patience, and talent for sparking genuine curiosity have deeply impacted not only my son but everyone fortunate enough to know her. Beyond academics, she fosters a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and empowered. Her commitment to laying a strong foundation for our children's future success is truly inspiring, and I am incredibly grateful for her dedication!”
