Colleague
How have they made an impact?
Carrie gets to know each student because she is the PE teacher at Wilson Creek. She also takes care of the busing at the school in the AM and PM. That is perfect since she knows them all by name and understands their behaviors. She keeps things rolling right along and can stop any problems or attitudes immediately.
She is always willing to go the extra mile, encouraging students and staff, and is very responsible.
What are three words that best describe them?
Strong, Friendly, Reliable.
