The 8th-grade Social Studies class has been learning about the Key Concepts of the US Constitution. All students made a poster explaining one of the concepts, but there were a few standouts that deserve attention. These include Jaeger Genereux's Separation of Powers, Khloie Fuchs' Checks and Balances, Zylie Lagsub's Popular Sovereignty, Brystol Rohde's Republicanism, and Chevy Bittner's Limited Government.

No matter how busy the day becomes, she remains calm, helpful, and willing to assist anyone who needs support. She is also an incredibly dependable member of our team.

Her organization and attention to detail help keep the school running smoothly, often behind the scenes. What truly makes her stand out is the positive attitude she brings to her work. She treats everyone with respect and kindness and always goes the extra mile to make students, families, and staff feel supported.
