4th grade PE stations in full swing on a beautiful sunny day! ☀️🏐

Students rotated through stations practicing volleyball skills—serving, bumping, and setting—while cheering each other on every step of the way. It was great to see so much encouragement, teamwork, and determination as everyone worked on learning new skills together.

Proud of this group for supporting one another and bringing such positive energy while learning a new sport! 💙 🐯🐾

🌟 Teacher of the Year Spotlight: Katie Nelson 🌟

Katie Nelson, Sebastopol Union English Language Development teacher, has earned a Sebastopol Rotary Teacher of the Year Award for 2026. Ms. Nelson has taught in Sebastopol for 5 years, and 15 years prior in the San Francisco Unified. At Park Side & Brook Haven, Mrs. Nelson supports students across grade levels and is known for creating a safe, welcoming space where English Language Learners build confidence and thrive.

Serving students from all over the world, including newcomers from Mexico, Ukraine, Nepal, Spain, Haiti, Sri Lanka, and Japan, Katie embraces the beauty of diversity that defines Sebastopol schools. She has built a collaborative, student-centered approach that helps English Language Learners feel seen, supported, and successful from day one.

By preparing students with key vocabulary and partnering closely with teachers, Katie ensures every student can fully participate and succeed. As one colleague shared, “She creates a bridge between the world they’ve left behind and the new one they are learning to navigate.”

Flexible, compassionate, and committed to equity, Katie Nelson truly embodies a Teacher of the Year, and we are proud to honor her hard work and dedication to Sebastopol Union Schools. 🎉
