🎉 Congratulations to our April Secondary Teacher of the Month, band teacher Kevin Mundt, and our April Secondary Support Staff Member of the Month, SRO Josh Bujalski! 🎉

Both were nominated by students for the positive impact they make each day.

One student shared about Mr. Mundt:

"He is such a good teacher, especially when it comes to music; he does everything he can to help us understand the music more, and he doesn’t give up. He makes it so much more fun and adds s***k to class. He will always be my favorite teacher."

Another student shared about Officer Josh:

"He’s fun to joke around with, and he is literally here to protect us."

Thank you, Mr. Mundt and Officer Josh, for your dedication, positivity, and the care you show to our students and school community! 💛🐾
