“Mrs. Atkinson consistently goes above and beyond to support students who are struggling or feeling overwhelmed. Her approach to helping them succeed is nothing short of inspiring. She encourages students with the motto, “Eat the elephant one bite at a time,” breaking down tasks into manageable pieces so they can tackle their work without feeling defeated. Michelle holds students to high standards, refusing to accept subpar effort. She lays out tasks clearly, setting expectations that help students take pride in their work and do their very best. She is committed to their success, even completing assignments herself so she can better guide students through the process. As a team member, Michelle is exceptional. Her insight, perspective, and support make her an invaluable asset to our school. She not only helps students on her caseload but also empowers her colleagues to be better educators for all students. Her kindness, care, and unwavering dedication to her role are truly remarkable.”

Mrs. Meyer is an Ultimate Warrior because she creates a safe environment for kids to have a growth mindset. Students don't always have positive thinking towards the subject of math, but once Mrs. Meyer gets a hold of students, their mindset shifts and their math abilities are out of this world. Her classroom is energetic, rewarding, and nothing short of a dang good time. Math is patterns and Mrs. Meyer is the bomb.com!

Amy Elliott is very deserving of the Ultimate Warrior Award!  Amy works relentlessly to ensure that students feel safe, supported and are engaged in their learning.  Amy creates so many experiments and enrichment projects to help her students truly learn the material, but even more, enjoy what they are doing!  Students are excited to go to Mrs. Elliott's class every day and that is because she has created an environment and culture where students thrive and she challenges them to truly engage in ancient cultures and science curriculum.  Additionally, Amy is a great teammate, leads by example, forms strong relationships and takes care of the details so everyone feels prepared to be successful.  We are so lucky that Amy is a Warrior!
