The district is pleased to announce the November 2020 Staff in the Spotlight recipients. Every month, each of our schools honors a staff member at their building for going above and beyond their regular duties or for doing something special. Join us in celebrating these outstanding employees!

	PELC	Randy Jenness – for working to create fun, virtual P.E. lessons.  He has gone above and beyond to work with staff to support their efforts with distance learning by providing awesome online PE activities.
	McKay	Wendy Phillips – for diving into CDL and making her classroom engaging, motivating, and a great learning environment for all of her students.  Wendy is definitely making the best of this challenging experience.
	Sherwood	Diana Ellis – is being recognized for being so positive with staff and families.  She encourages every child to do their best, and honors and recognizes every student for their strength.  She is a great resource to other teachers and assistants in the building.  We are so lucky to have her on our staff.
