Kudos to Daisy Ortiz Campos, Kindergarten Teacher at Pillar Falls. She is the Certified Employee of the Month

Daisy is originally from Long Beach, California, and her favorite hobby is read-aloud stories. She loves getting into character for her kindergarten students and having fun. #1 on her bucket list is to travel Europe with her husband/best friend! She loves all things coffee. She works a couple Saturdays a month at a small local coffee shop, and it brings her much happiness. Her inspiration is her mom. “She is the hardest working person I have known. My mom always pushed me to be the best version of myself and to never settle.” The best word to describe her is happy. She chose this career because she feels like she has a lot of love to give, so being able to fill her students’ buckets makes her the happiest. And she wants to be remembered as the teacher who gave it all and cared so much for her students. No two days in the classroom are the same, which is why every day is the best day.

Principal Note: Daisy has been a wonderful addition to our kindergarten team! Her classroom is a supportive, caring environment for all of her students. She goes the extra mile to help her students learn and succeed. She is willing to help whenever needed, and her positive attitude is contagious. We love having her at Pillar Falls with us!

Congratulations to Heather Cardinale, Librarian at Pillar Falls Elementary. She is the Classified Employee of the Month.

Heather is originally from Antioch, California, and her favorite hobbies are reading, camping, ATV riding, and more READING. Her bucket list includes travel: Seeing the pyramids of Giza in Cairo, Egypt; A Gondola ride in Venice, Italy; and Enjoying a beignet in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Most people don’t know that Heather is claustrophobic. But her husband, children, and 4 grandchildren inspire her. She chose to be a school librarian because she loves working with children and reading. “Becoming a school librarian was a no-brainer.” Best day on the job: When a troubled student with severe social anxiety (and other things) finally opened up to me and started speaking with me about books he liked to read. I tried all school year long to get him to talk with me about anything. The last month of school it finally happened. It was at this point he told me that coming to the library was his favorite and he would miss coming to see me at specials when he went to middle school.

Principal’s Note: Heather has been doing a great job in our library for several years. She has created an inviting area for students to come and enjoy books. She is kind and caring as she gets her students excited to read. She is a team player and a valued member of the specials team. We love having her with us at our school!

Way to go, Cassie Sharp, Kindergarten Teacher at Oregon Trail Elementary. She is the Certified Employee of the Month.

Cassie gets her inspiration from her family, co-teachers & past teachers. Away from work, she enjoys reading and traveling. Her bucket list includes traveling to as many beach towns/ countries as possible. She describes herself as pretty open and determined. Cassie chose to be a teacher because she had an amazing 2nd-grade teacher who helped her when she was struggling with reading. “I hope to do the same for others.” She would like to be remembered as someone people can count on. Best day on the job? Every year has a new best.

Principal Note: Cassie stepped up this year as the kindergarten grade level leader. She helped her team and her students have a great school year. Cassie makes our school better!

Hip Hooray, Danielle Diaz, Long Term Guest Teacher at Oregon Trail Elementary. She is the Classified Employee of the Month.

Danielle comes from Carrington, North Dakota. Her hobbies away from work include walking and going to concerts. Some day she would like to travel to Colombia. She gets inspired by seeing kids happy while they are learning. Few people know that in elementary school she wanted to be a mechanic! She chose to be a guest teacher because she was a teacher and “retired” when she had her own kids. She wanted to be a mom and still teach. She can do both of those things by being a guest teacher. She would like to be remembered as the sub who cared and was always there for the students. Her best day on the job is every day that she is at Oregon Trail!

Principal Note: Danielle stepped into a very difficult situation and helped kids thrive! Danielle is an essential part of our Oregon Trail team; and despite only having Guest Teacher status, she’s as much of an influence as anyone could be!

Congratulations to Lori Hinton, ELL Teacher at IB Perrine Elementary School. She is the Certified Employee of the Month for April

When she was asked for a word to describe her, she said that her husband said she is indescribable. She enjoys spending time with her family doing crafts and cooking new food. Most people don’t know that she can’t swim and is afraid to go on a boat or be in water deeper than a bathtub. She doesn’t have a bucket list! Live each day to the fullest! She is inspired by the teachers that she works with – their dedication and kindness is unstoppable. She wants to be remembered as someone who cared about others. Her best day on the job has been when a student tells her they love learning or that they had fun learning!

Principal’s Note:

Lori brings out the best in her students and her team. She sets clear expectations and holds all to high standards. Lori’s leadership gets results. Our EL students thrive under her watchful eye. For me, who knew how much impact one person could have on my vocabulary. Lori’s flare for descriptive language has made an impression. She is ‘spicy’ and I love her ‘mojo.’ It is an honor to work with her.

Hats Off to Marisol Jimenez, Safety Aid at IB Perrine Elementary School. She is the Classified Employee of the Month for April.

Hailing from Jalisco, Mexico, Marisol’s mother is her inspiration. The word that best describes her is caring. Her favorite hobbies are cooking and crafting, and the thing that nobody knows about her is that she doesn’t know how to drive. She would love to buy a house in Mexico someday. She chose to work in the schools because it allows her to be able to take care of her kids. She would like to be remembered as a kind, helping, loving person. She tries to make every day the best day on the job.

Principal’s Note: As our Safety Aide, Marisol spends her day with students who struggle with self-regulation. She approaches them with caring and compassion. It is no wonder that they have built strong relationships. As a colleague, Marisol is ever-willing to pitch in and help. Many of our staff, students, and parents rely on her support. She is a bundle of positive energy, and it is a joy to work with her.

Kudos to Shari Cowger, Rock Creek Elementary Principal. She is the Certified Employee of the Month for April.

Hailing from Clarinda, Iowa, (the home of Glenn Miller and birthplace of 4-H), Shari gets her inspiration from her grandmother: She taught in a one-room schoolhouse, riding a horse 5 miles each way to her little school. She was a widow early in life, went back to school, got her master’s, and became a principal. Many Saturdays were spent running around McKinley Elementary while she worked. She was still tutoring English Learners well into her 90s. Her love of learning and helping others was an amazing example. The word that best describes Shari is caring – with a little bit of sass. Something people don’t know about Shari is that she was raised on a farm and can do all things required of a farm girl: driving the tractor, cutting hay, disking, working the bean fields, detasseling corn, delivering calves, and castrating pigs. “You probably shouldn’t mess with me!” Her favorite hobby is making charcuterie boards, reading, and spending time with her family. Two things on her bucket list are learning to make pasta in Italy, and heading to Broadway to watch as many musicals as possible. She loves everything about education. Learning, teaching, the staff, students, and parents. She wants to help everyone reach their full potential while finding happiness along the way. She wants to be remembered as having been enough. “You always question if you did enough, if you tried hard enough, if you cared enough, if you worked hard enough.” Her best day on the job is EVERY DAY! There is always something to love about each day on the job. “I have absolutely loved being an elementary principal!”

Congratulations to Wendy Maughan, Student Support Para at Rock Creek Elementary School. She is the Classified Employee of the Month for April.

Hailing from Boise, the only thing on her bucket list is to live where it never snows! Her hobbies include crocheting, knitting, reading, baking, and gardening. New things she is learning how to do currently are: how to bake beautiful sourdough bread and create rock jewelry. “I Love YouTube!” The word that describes Wendy is curious. She loves to learn. She is finishing her degree in Elementary Education at W.G.U. Wendy wants to teach children to be lifetime learners and wants to be remembered as having made a small difference in others. The best day on the job was when she watched children using skills she taught in her S.E.L. lessons. They got it!

Principal Note: Wendy has done a phenomenal job in her role as student support specialist. This is her first year in this role, and she is very much appreciated by staff and students. She works directly with the school counselor to teach social lessons that have been invaluable. She also works with students in a tutoring role. She is definitely a busy lady, and you will always find her pushing her cart and running from room to room. She also brings a very positive attitude to the entire staff. She is willing to help wherever needed. I don’t believe she has missed afternoon bus duty all year. And she does it with a smile on her face. I have been extremely impressed with her dedication to students and her ability to always seek answers to help students find success. We certainly hit the jackpot when Wendy agreed to join the staff as our support specialist. She is an absolute gem.

Congratulations to John Garcia, Head Custodian at Bickel Elementary. He is the Classified Employee of the Month for January.

Hailing from Los Angeles, California, John is a dependable employee who hates a messy work space, but enjoys building projects. He also enjoys fishing and kayaking. A retired craftsman of more than 35 years, John likes to stay busy. He would like to travel around the country with his wife.

Hats Off to Jaime Williams, Kindergarten Teacher at Bickel Elementary. She is the Certified Employee of the Month for January.

From Mars, PA, Jaime is a softhearted person who loves to make people laugh. Her Facebook followers look to her for a good chuckle. She says that every teacher she ever had lives within her as well as all the people who she has had the honor to teach with. She takes the best of everyone and makes them a part of her. Her dream is to be an author. She has loved writing since the 3rd grade. She would also like to travel to Lake Placid to spend time with one of the people who is always there for her. The job chose her. “I was born to teach primary students. I just can’t imagine life without teaching.” She hopes every person who walks through her door knows how much she truly cares about them. Best day on the job? Every day is the best day. “I will teach until my answer changes. Teaching gives me purpose.”

From Jaime’s Principal: Jaime is a bright ray of sunshine every day. In the classroom she has enormous energy while working with her kindergarten students. Mrs. Williams is the go-to for witty words and phrases to make you smile. Jaime has been a pleasure to work with for the past three years while I have been at Bickel.
