๐ŸŒŸ Thrive Thursday Spotlight ๐ŸŒŸ

This week, we are proud to shine our Thrive Thursday spotlight on two incredible members of the Tombaugh Elementary School team: Registrar Yesenia Carrera and Head Secretary Olissa Hernandez Hill. At Tombaugh, Yesenia and Olissa are truly the heart of the school community. They are often the first smiles students, families, and staff see when they walk through the doors, greeting everyone with kindness, patience, and care.

While much of their work happens behind the scenes, their impact is felt throughout the entire campus. From keeping the school day running smoothly to supporting students in moments of need and helping families feel welcome and connected, Yesenia and Olissa go above and beyond every single day. Their dedication and commitment help create a school environment where everyone feels supported and where all learners can thrive.

Thank you, Yesenia and Olissa, for the heart you bring to Tombaugh Elementary each day. You help keep the Home of the Comets shining bright and your impact is truly out of this world!
