Your January '24 ALL Stars
Your January '24 ALL Stars
Each month, you have the chance to nominate any Avon Schools employee who you feel embodies our mission: ALL belong, learn, and grow. In January, you nominated 37 individuals and we have shared your encouraging comments with them.
Here's just a sample of your comments about the many ways these ALL Stars make our mission a reality:
- "[She] believes in our special education students with such an intensity that there is no room for doubt. If she says they can do it, they do it. She provides the steps and tools to make them successful in whatever the goal may be."
- "She makes all kids excited to learn each and every day. We are blessed to have her teaching our son."
- "Her dedication to ALL children and staff shines through in every conversation! She is a true leader. She believes and sees the best in all people. Her interactions lead to growth because she is committed to ensuring ALL belong, learn, and grow!"
- "She is an outstanding teacher who has not let 30+ years of teaching fade her spirit."
- "She welcomes all students in her music room with a warm smile. The students respond to her organized space and fun routine. She has an amazing talent for motivating all students. ... She is especially sensitive to students with special needs and finds ways to creatively serve them. Her efforts are appreciated."
- "She meets her students where they are, respects their individuality, listens to them, asks questions with curiosity and without judgment, and strives to understand what motivates them."
- "[She] always makes students feel included in a safe space to learn and grow."
We are grateful for each of our ALL Stars. Be sure to watch for the January nominations to open. Let's keep the positivity and encouragement flowing!
