We love our Shady Grove GEM, Cindy Wilson!😁💚

We are excited to share our Shady Grove GEM for November!

She is someone who has a true heart for her profession. Her positive and helpful approach each day she is here shows her love for our students, their families and our Shady Grove family too. She is someone we all know we can count on to help, no matter the situation, no matter who and no matter how big or small.

We love our Shady Grove GEM, Lori Sanchez! 😁💚

Teresa Mather is someone who epitomizes servant-hood leadership. She is patient, collaborative, proactive and a true lifelong learner. She has connected the dots for us in so many ways, including creating helpful videos to walk us through the variety of different technology applications, sending out our Motivational Monday videos and many, many personal conversations along the way. Congratulations Teresa, we love you!

Congratulations to Paige Bailey for being selected as the Shady Grove GEM for the month of March! Paige is creative in helping her students achieve their goals. She takes the time to truly get to know and understand the needs of each one, both academically and behaviorally. She loves what she does, and it shows! We are thankful Paige is a part of our Shady Grove team!

Please join me in congratulating Jill Sanchez! Coworkers describe Jill as a kind and hardworking individual, who always has a smile on her face. If there is a need, Jill is always willing to help out beyond her PPCD responsibilities. She shows love to all those around her, most importantly to any and all students she works with. This is such a well deserved award for Jill, and we are so proud that she is a part of our Shady Grove Family!

Please join me in congratulating Crystle Teague in receiving our GEM for the month of November! Crystle is proactive and committed in her work. She looks for ways to help out beyond her regular duties, and always with a kind approach and smile on her face. She enjoys welcoming students each morning at car rider duty (no matter the weather ❄) and is a friendly face to many of our students before they even step into the school building. Thank you Crystle for all you do at SGE! (picture to come!)

Congratulations to Melanie VanDer Stoep, Shady Grove's September GEM!
Melanie has been with us less than a year, but in that short time she has worked to do her job as our campus registrar with kindness, patience and diligence. She has received several compliments from parents who worked with her to enroll their children at the start of this year. Each one shared how they appreciated the time she took in explaining the process and helping them to feel welcome.

We are proud to announce our March GEM, Amber Jones!
The time and effort Amber has put towards our music programs has been so appreciated, and her excitement and love for what she does is noticeable. The community (parents, staff and students) have thoroughly enjoyed seeing our students' love for music through performance. Music/theatre has allowed for some of our students who typically struggle, to shine, lead and be proud of themselves. Having her here has been such a blessing! Congratulations to our March GEM, Amber Jones!

Congratulations to Amalia Patterson!
Amalia is en excellent example of how building strong relationships with students makes a BIG difference. She actively advocates for her student and their needs, and is a true team player not only on her team but on our campus. Thank you Amalia for your dedication to your students and our campus! We appreciate you!
