Staff Spotlights- We didn't know how those Staff Spotlights would go but I knew we just brought Jason on the team and hired a ton of new teachers for the 21-22 school year. These spotlights made a huge impact on this team. Slide 31 has the link to the playlist of music. The summer of 2022 Jason and I presented to the Pearson Leadership Conference about the Spotlights. Here is the presentation we did about this wonderful surprise- Staff Spotlights.

To all of the MS English team, I have thoroughly enjoyed attending your meetings, watching you present your data, stand behind your data, and move forward with what you believe in for the education of our students and fulfilling ALCA's vision. You each have unique abilities to meet the needs of your students, going above and beyond to engage them.

Since I joined ALCA in 2020, I have had the honor of leading the 8th grade team - four years as advisory and this year as stakeholder engagement coordinator and academic assignment coordinator. How blessed I have been to work with such a kind, collaborative, and supportive group of educators. However, the heart attack in September made me rethink some of my priorities, and it felt like it was time for me to pass the torch. I will still be part of this amazing team, and I am so grateful for that! Whoever leads us moving forward will truly be leading the best of the best. I love you all! ~Trudi

I will be forever grateful to the Middle School team for embracing me from the very beginning. Every year has looked a little different, but I’ve truly enjoyed each one—getting to know some of you better along the way, and learning so much in the process.

While it looks like I may not be with Middle School next year (rumor has it I might be working with the state testing coordinator), this team will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the laughs, support, and for just being awesome humans.

Josh Rose- I have told you before but I will tell you again...I think you have a knack for leadership. I hope that you might consider it in your future.

Jennie,

I’ve always appreciated your kindness and how you’re always ready to help anyone and everyone. You go above and beyond—110% every time! You somehow remember every birthday, and you’ve started so many little “Sunshine” moments that make such a big difference. I’m so glad I found a friend who actually enjoys our little “Excel puzzles” as much as I do. You truly are the sunshine of Middle School, and I’m lucky to know you!

Thankful for our MS team from 2022 and even now for our much larger team in 2025.

This was our first PD back in the renovated office building after COVID. I’m so thankful for our math team. Mark and Lunetta are now in highschool and we’ve added a lot more to our team. We work together so well and always trying to beat our last data. We always have room to grow and we always look for ways to achieve those goals.

I loved the time Governor Kay "MeMaw" Ivey showed up to our ACAP test site in Montgomery. Luckily, she was just there for an event, but it's still a funny memory to me. We all had a great time that year.

Tammi Fox, Jennie Fullmer and Stephanie Adams...ladies...I will always appreciate our first year together. Thank you for guiding me through my first year with the Middle School Team. We have all evolved so much and I will always appreciate our first Advisory/Admin Team.

Shout out to Lois Anne and Laura for being the best 7th grade math teammates! They shared all of their resources and kept me on track as I learned the accelerated 7th grade math curriculum and prepared lessons for that course.

I am so thankful for my Sixth Grade Team! My first year here they welcomed me and we were able to form a deep working relationship that has turned into deep friendships. I'm honored to be part of the 6th grade team in the way we support all our sts. You've lifted me up when needed and provided understanding and support. You've always taken time to show me how to do things or to help in understanding the curriculum. ~Jessie Lommel

I loved the year we spotlighted teachers in the Middle School team meetings! We laughed, we cried, and I think that is when we really became a "family".
