Thank you for your tireless support, from beginning to the very late end of the days. Thanks for working to know the kids as individuals. After 4 positive years for my daughter, my next child is eager to be a beaver.

It's so awesome to work in a building where the principal so actively supports the library and participates in events. I feel immensely grateful to be a Ballard Beaver. Thank you for building such a wonderful community of leaders, teachers, learners and readers! -Claire Elam

Keven, thank you for being an advocate of inclusion and serving our students and staff with kindness and care. Your support and willingness to make everybody part of this communicate goes beyond. As someone from another country who still struggle with some aspect of the culture, I have always found a safe space and a second home here at BHS. Empathy, comprehension and compassion from a principal are so appreciated and what staff and students need. You clearly love your job and look after BHS beavers. Thank you for all you do, specially during these circumstances. Your leadership during this uncertain times has made the difference! Muchas gracias.

For making high school such a fantastic experience for my 7th-grader-turned-suddently-9th-grader-after-a-pandemic! From middle school to our living room to the hallways of BHS, you and the staff have made this odd transition to high school a pleasant, welcoming and fun time for Jack!
