Staff Members of the Month

Staff Recognition 0926 - Chalk the Walk

Congrats to Ms. Johnson and Ms. Wagner our October staff members of the month! To celebrate, each of you will receive a gift card to a store and your picture will be posted in the office! Thank you for helping to make BCE such a special place.

Highlights from your nominations:
Ms. Johnson (Instructional Assistant): “Ms. Johnson plays her role of Instructional Assistant exactly what it states. I see her in classrooms, at carpool line, walking students to childcare buses and anywhere she's needed. She speaks to children in a calm understandable manner. I've known her for 5 or 6 years and she never changes her love for her job.”

Ms. Wagner (1st Grade): “Ms. Wagner has made our son's first-grade experience truly amazing! We have seen him grow so much in confidence and learning already this school year, and it has been wonderful to watch him thrive. He looks forward to going to school every day, which speaks volumes about the positive and supportive environment she creates in her classroom.

We also greatly appreciate how Ms. Wagner keeps us informed. Her communication, dedication, and partnership mean so much to our family. We are incredibly thankful to have her as part of our son's educational journey and for the impact she is making on his growth, confidence, and love of learning. She is truly making a difference, and we feel so fortunate that our son has her as his first-grade teacher!”
