Noelle Tope

Shot out to Noelle Tope. She is such a loving and caring person & has been taking it in her own hands to make sure her students and even students that are not hers have enough food to eat not only for the student but also their whole family. She has been out there in the community with her students at least once a week making sure that they have what they need to learn and enough food to survive. And the groceries and materials she provides for the kids come from her own pocket!!!

Amal

These two ladies just led a wonderful zoom meeting with about 12 of their students. It was so calm and organized. The students were respectful and took turns speaking and listening to each other. The students were not chaotic, and they knew that the zoom meeting was a special time for them to connect and discuss their learning. Way to go ladies!!

Christina Berry

2020-04-28 18:33:51 UTC

For making time to visit her students' homes in order to deliver some treats and love. She really knows what this is all about.

KCIA Parents

ldannerkcia — 2020-04-28 20:08:31 UTC

I really want to shout out our parents. Despite all that is being thrown at them to figure out, they are making it work. Many have wanted to know how I am coping as much as I wanted to know how they were! I've seen such sweet, supportive, genuine kindness and it makes my heart happy. <3

Lori comes to almost every 2nd grade class meeting. She always asks the students how they are doing and she plays a game with us!

Lauren Chadwick

Lauren calls, texts and checks on our 2nd grade kiddos daily. We have meetings daily with the kids and she is always participating while entertaining Ruby at the same time. She remembers everything going on with the kids/teachers and makes us all feel loved and supported!
