Emily Metz Cherne MVP

ramiller12 — 2024-05-07 18:32:17 UTC

Emily is amazing! She is a wealth of knowledge and I don't know how she did it all. You had a question- she would provide you with all the information including emails, links, and examples-more than you could ever imagine but very much needed. Our meetings were a blast and helped us all along our "first" school year!

Thank you Tara!

2024-05-07 18:32:21 UTC

Tara Ometz has been amazing at making sure I had everything ready to go on time! I wouldn't have gotten anything done without her! Thank you so much for being there for all of the questions and for giving much needed advice when needed!

Thank you Zach Welter!!!

2024-05-07 18:33:25 UTC

Thank you, Zach, for being so quick to respond to all of my random silly questions, checking in on me, and being so supportive throughout the school year even with a midyear change in my teaching position. I would be lost in the world of variants without you!

Cortney Billet You RULE!!

2024-05-07 18:33:43 UTC

Thank you Cortney for being available for questions and concerns and so quickly trying to help me! I am so grateful for you and feel like as a CCA newbie, you've also become a friend in the process! Thank you 💜~Kim

Lisa Hartsock!

2024-05-07 18:35:02 UTC

You are the absolute greatest, thank you for always listening to me and supporting me! Thank you for helping me stay sane ! :)

Thank you, Thea!

bconnor13 — 2024-05-07 18:35:35 UTC

Thank you, Erin!

2024-05-07 18:35:37 UTC

Thank you Sherri!

rdodson11 — 2024-05-07 18:38:14 UTC

Sherri helped me not feel so overwhelmed with all of the new stuff that came with being a new cyber teacher. If I had questions or wasn't sure where to look or where to go she is always there to help!

Andrew Gehman is the Best!!!

akoup1 — 2024-05-07 18:38:44 UTC

2024-05-07 18:39:41 UTC

Feeling very fortunate! Diana knows EVERYTHING, but more than that, she has a heart of gold! She has been the best mentor, allowing me to ask her a million questions and always remaining patient and understanding. She's available any time I need her, and I'm just so appreciative! Thank you for everything this year!

Thank you, Thomas Blickley!!

rmohler3 — 2024-05-07 18:39:47 UTC

Thomas you are a great mentor and Stellar human-being!! Thank you for all the advice and being the voice of reason when I need it the most. I love our mentee meetings. You are always prepared to ask the important questions and always have time to ask how I am doing. Thank you again for a great year!!!!

Heather Caprari is the GOAT

rboohar1 — 2024-05-07 18:39:57 UTC

I was supposed to be placed with someone else but they backed out last minute. Turns out this was the best thing that could have possibly happened. Heather not only showed me the ropes of CCA, but she welcomed me with open arms and became a mentor & friend. Any questions I have, whether it's CCA or life related she always has an answer/advice. Heather made my first year at CCA a blast and so much more manageable. SOOO thankful for her! :)

Emily Tyler

2024-05-07 18:41:03 UTC

I couldn't have asked for a better mentor! She welcomed me to CCA and has supported me every day! Thank you, Emily!!!

Thank you Vanessa!

bdearborn3 — 2024-05-07 18:42:02 UTC

2024-05-07 18:49:45 UTC

Thank you Anna for being such a blessing!! You have made my transition to CCA so much easier. I am so grateful for all of your encouragement, support, and helpful tips. Everyone needs an Anna in their life!

Thank you so much, Diana Palomba!

rwallace65 — 2024-05-07 18:50:53 UTC

Thank you so much for your support and help as I made my way through my first year at CCA. Even though I have been teaching for 24 years, learning everything new was overwhelming at first. You made everything seem so easy to learn, and you were there any time I needed you. You are truly AMAZING!

Thank you, Jenna Rudolph!!

2024-05-07 18:52:09 UTC

Thank you for always having time to connect with all three of your sponsees!! I so appreciate all your help getting my bear-ings (see what I did there ;P) during my first year at CCA!!

Julianna Evans Rocks!

2024-05-07 18:53:44 UTC

Jules has answered every question I've had and made coming to CCA a great experience after 20+ years in Brick and Mortar. She's an awesome person to talk to, and I can't imagine being successful here without her help!

Thank you, Jeff Hollick!

bnaculich3 — 2024-05-07 18:55:35 UTC

Jeff has been absolutely AWESOME to work with since I started mid-year last school year. From his skate store to his Star Wars collection he's one of the coolest teachers I've gotten to know! I cannot thank him enough for always providing the perfect amount of guidance - never over bearing but always there when you need him! I wouldn't have had the smooth transition into online education that I did if it wasn't for Jeff's guidance and support! :)

We would follow Tim Aney to the arctic and beyond.

kthompson331 — 2024-05-07 18:56:20 UTC

Our mentor-mentee group has become a little family, and we would follow our mentor, Tim Aney, (nearly) anywhere he leads. His calm, So Cal demeanor was exactly what we needed to counteract the stress of starting new here at CCA. I would have been like an orphan penguin chick out in the cold without his guidance. Thank you, Padre Pinguino.

Thank you Rachel Holencik

2024-05-07 18:56:55 UTC

I can't thank you enough for all your support and patience these past two years. I could not have done it without you. JDH

Michael Steel for the win

2024-05-07 18:56:59 UTC

Michael made my transition to CCA so seamless and so inviting. He is an amazing teacher and such an encouraging mentor. He responds with answers SO QUICKLY. I was truly blessed to have been placed with Michael!

Sammi Gutshall is just the best

2024-05-07 18:58:03 UTC

Sammi is just the absolute best. Not only is she kind and patient but she's so fun to be around. She made my transition to cyber school so much better. I always know that I can ask her any questions and she will be right there to help. Even when it's trying to figure out what the Gen Z lingo means! Thank you, Sammi!

Thank you Sammi!

2024-05-07 19:03:08 UTC

Sammi has been the absolute best to work with! When I started last year she immediately made me feel at "Home" within CCA. I know that I can ask her any question and she'll always have an answer or will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks for all you do for the " empty nest", Sammi!

2024-05-07 19:05:19 UTC

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being not only a mentor but for your patience, our impromptu chats, guiding me, supporting me, answering my million questions more than once and for all your encouragement as I navigated my first year here. Proud to call you not only my colleague and mentor, but a friend now!!!

2024-05-07 19:10:46 UTC

I am so lucky to have Samantha as a mentor. She is so incredibly knowledgeable of all things, and she answers all of my questions (with lots of patience!). Sammi is friendly, kind, patient, and a great teacher & friend! My transition to CCA was so wonderful because of working with her! Thank you for everything, Sammi!!

Thank you, Jeff!

Erin Glaser is the BEST

2024-05-07 19:20:54 UTC

I am grateful that my mentor collaborates with her peers and is active in our PLC. She creates an abundance of resources and is big on sharing. I appreciate her reminders to utilize what others have made and to take the pressure off of trying to "reinvent the wheel."

Thank you, Sarah Dressler!

Thanks for all you for not only me, but for CCA.

Beegle is the Best!!

2024-05-08 13:20:17 UTC

Andrew Beegle has sponsored me this year and I couldn't have gotten through the year without him! He is always there to answer a million questions, send links, resources, and the support he shows is practically 24/7 - he has extra monitors to make sure he never misses a message! So kind and supportive - anyone who gets Beegle as a mentor or sponsor is set up for success. Thank you for everything!!!
