Please join us in congratulating Heather Phelps on her Orange Spot Nomination.
Principal Uhrich and Assistant Principal Wheatcraft wrote, "We were extremely short staffed today. I went down to the PD Center to see if we could use a room. I was telling Heather about our staff shortage and she said, "Which class would you like me to cover!" I was only asking her for space but she was ready and willing to cover a classroom for us. WOW! What an amazing gesture!
Thank you Heather for being a team player!"
