Laura has been a wonderful addition to the Special Education Office Team! Even though we have not been able to work together in-person very much, she has caught on quickly and has such a sunny disposition that it comes through via Zoom and emails! Happy Holidays Laura!

Hi Mrs. Koda! I really appreciate it when you enjoy seeing my croquis illustrations, especially the ones I draw for class projects. It also warms my heart to see you and another fashion teacher complimenting my work. These illustrations are so fun to create and I will encourage myself to continue doing it. I really want to return the favor back by saying thank you so much as a shout out.

From: Mary Frohna

This math team is pretty dang fantastic. It’s only my third year here, but there are many things I miss about the daily interactions with y’all. Obviously the meeting bagels, Becky’s room decor and our food taste tests, but this time of year, I am missing the Holiday Hero interactions. I love sharing joy with all of you and learning more about who you are and what little (or big) quirks you have. :o) Rest well, everyone.
