The Cardinal Way

Last year, our staff members of the week were selected by our students. This year, we are looking for our staff members to nominate each other. If you think there is a staff member who deserves to get recognized, please be sure to fill out this Google Form. The form will be open throughout the year so please remember to nominate our amazing staff members when they go above and beyond!

Enjoy this "All of Us" parady.... All of us love all of you!

In every role, we are in the customer service business. What I appreciate about Simon Sinek's message, is that customer service isn't simply giving people what they want. It's making people FEEL like you ACTUALLY CARE. And what makes SHS so special is that people DO care so there is a high level of satisfaction when community members, parents, and any visitor enters SHS.

• Angela Sledge for being recognized at Central Nine as one of their staff members of the month. Angela serves as a DHH interpreter and supports students at C9. Thanks for all that you do for our students!
• Bethany Mendez & Tracy Chupp for organizing the immunization clinic at SHS. Around 100 students were immunized in 1 day!
• Christina Ferguson and the NHS volunteers who helped at Winchester Village's Family Night. Their principal said the kids did a great job leading small learning games, were punctual, encouraging, and were great representatives of SHS!
• Amy Peddie for coordinating with district leadership to expand the number of her work-based learning students who are going to be employeed by SHS. The district is hiring 5 students to work in custodial positions around the district and 4 students to work in grounds positions.
• Erin Ancelet and Bri Osburn for running the trivia night fundraiser for the WRAL team.
• All staff members who have been checking IDs as students enter the building each morning. We are down to just a handful of students at each door who don't have their IDs. Your work is noticed, appreciated and is helping ensure the safety of everyone at SHS!
• Our student services team, school counseling team, and administrative team for running our first hallway sweep during iPass on Friday. I know if takes a little bit of time, but holding students accountable to the expectations early will set the tone throughout the year. We only had 10 students after the passing period who were not where they were supposed to be!
• Mentor teachers for your continued work to support our new(er) teachers and your feedback to continually improve our weekly professional development.

Mrs. Peddie's class put together an informative Homecoming bulletin board with pictures in the EL hallway so that ALL of our students were informed of the spirit week themes and Homecoming activities. Thank you Mrs. Peddie for going out of your way to serve our diverse community!

Thank you to all of the Freshman iPass teachers who participated in the door decorating contest last Friday. It was great to see students working together and excited about creating a space and product that they were proud of AND that promoted school spirit! A special Congratulations to Mrs. Quinlin's class for winning the contest!!!

Mrs. Tellas' double block Algebra 1 class played math Jenga during their lab class time. All of the students were working and answering problems based on the block that was selected. The kids were engaged and even got nervous to choose a block because they didn't want to knock it down! :) Mrs. Tellas, thank you for finding ways to make math fun and engaging for our students!

On Monday, I had the opportunity to present to 90 new administrators across Indiana and share the great work being done at SHS to create student centered classrooms and our work to empower our students throughout the school. Thank you for all the work you do to support our students!

And, yes, there was development times throughout the presentation using giant post-it notes!

Congratulations to all of the Perry Township teachers and coaches who were recognized by the volleyball team during the Honored Educator night.

Thank you to Mr. Weimer for putting the Screencastify together to explain the process of taking the Panorama survey to our students during iPass. Also, thank you to our teachers and staff for encouraging students to take the survey openly and honestly. We look forward to utilizing the data to best support students!

Congratulations to Coach Humbles and our girls golf team. The team has had a great season thus far and finished 2nd in the Marion County tournament last week. We are excited to see them finish strong this season!

After a strong 1st year of the program, our Unified Flag football team was ready to start with their 2nd season. The team has been playing great and beat PMHS last week 66 - 26. Our athletes, coaches, and peers all work together to positively represent Southport High School. If you haven't seen a game, I strongly encourage you to attend!
