Congratulations to the following staff members for being named our #TigerPRIDE September Staff Members of the Month!

• Middle School #TigerPRIDE Staff Member of the Month - Ms. Conley - RESPECT - Nominated by Laurianna G. - "I am nominating Kerry Conley because she's always been respectful to me and she always listens to me when I tell her if something is wrong and gives me advice to resolve the problem."
• #TigerPRIDE Staff Member of the Month - Mr. Bezold - RESPECT - Nominated by Ms. Wheatley - "Mr. Bezold is hands down one of the favorite teachers in the building. I have heard countless times from students about how he listens to them and respects them, and I think that carries over into how he interacts with his colleagues, as well. He is ALWAYS willing to help me out however he can, and I know when I have students who need extra supports, he will be there to step in and work with them however he can so they can be successful."
• #TigerPRIDE Staff Member of the Month - Mr. Wheeler - EXCELLENCE - Nominated by Max McDonald - "I think Mr. Wheeler should be the staff member of the month because of his constant dedication to his students and how much he supports his students. He provides this kind of attitude 24/7 which helps kids to stay determined and focused in all of his classes."
