Shoutouts
Adam, thank you so much for being a team player and helping out whenever you see a need. Your care for students is evident in the way you move
Sue Esser- Secretary at Black Hawk middle school: Sue goes above and beyond for students at Black Hawk!! We always look forward to seeing her friendly face at the front desk when we come into the front office. All of the paperwork and attendance questions she helps us with does not go unnoticed. She has a way of making students feel welcomed as soon as they walk in the door always telling them she's excited to see them at school that day. She does much more than her secretary duties, including, helping my student and several others to work through peer conflicts and provide a safe space for them to express themselves freely when they are upset. Thank you Sue!!!!
Much gratitude goes to Cory DeGroff for the recent update to all LED lights at Doyle. The hallways and staircases are much brighter. Thank you Cory! - Tech Services
