The Cuaresma family is giving a huge high five to Mr. Lautenslager and his staff at Windrows Elementary. They appreciate each of them coming out daily for drop-off and dismissal time to help open the doors for the students, helping if they need help, and asking and giving them assurance by sharing morning smiles and greetings! Under the heat of the sun, you'll even see them walking and sending the kids off to their cars so they won’t be exposed to the sun. What a beautiful sight of kindness to watch!

Mr. Beitler and Mrs. Styles from Grapeland Elementary are getting a high five today from the Smith family. They appreciate how warm and welcoming both of them are by always greeting the students with smiles and, for many, on a first-name basis. They love the dedication and respect they have for each individual student. Grapeland is lucky to have them!

Falcon Ridge Elementary is giving a high five to Mrs. Jeanette Larrondo, student success coach, for continually going above and beyond to serve their students, staff, and parents.

Miss Oberholtz, an amazing kindergarten teacher at Caryn Elementary, is receiving a high five today from the Moore family. She has helped both her students and their parents with the transition into kindergarten. Miss Oberholtz was made aware that their child was having a rough morning, and not only did she respond in a timely manner, but she also went out of her way to check in with their daughter and assure the family that she was doing well. Thank you, Miss O!

Mrs. Meath from Terra Vista Elementary is receiving a shout-out today. She is a dedicated and motivating teacher who supports each student. Her teaching style is engaging, strategic, and rooted in respect! Way to go, Mrs. Meath.

Our first high five this school year goes out to Mr. Rudy at Caryn Elementary. He is so kind to all of the students and always lets them assist him if needed. Here he is having a kindergarten student help him raise the flag.
