Making sure everyone is included. She asked the students in high school and middle school if they wanted to have a girls day for a Friday afternoon. This gave them a little self confidence boost.

I am very grateful for having her as a coworker.

Amber was invited to come on our field trip to the zoo. She printed, laminated and created a book of pictures for each child to take to the zoo. Amber did this on her own, making sure the children in my class had the best experience possible. Thank you for thinking of how you could make this CBI interactive. The kids loved putting stickers on the pages of each animal that they were able to see.

Olivia Markham & Jessica Schulzki
These two always help us out when we are in need of helping our students through a crisis. Olivia is a great "shoulder" to lean on when students are in semi crisis and she is great at reasoning and calming them down. Jessica is great at deterring our students behavior for escalating any further and helps us out to figure out a plan on how to help our students within the classroom. These two are a great asset to have at Roger's.
