I am excited to nominate Jamila Phillips as staff member of the week. Mrs. Phillips works tirelessly with her students and team members to ensure that everyone's needs are being met.
She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and always shows up to work with enthusiasm to create a positive and engaging learning environment for her class. Her calm demeanor provides staff and students with a safe space to be heard. Even though she is often working behind the scenes, Mrs. Phillips is reliable, knowledgeable, compassionate, and a true HERO and friend.
