1988 Football Coaches
Today, students in Ms. Jordan’s 4th grade class did the Twist-O-Matic challenge. Students were tasked with creating an amusement park ride using rulers, rubber bands, binder clips, and a heavy book. Students shared their predictions on which type of rubber band would work best for the ride, a thin or a thick one, then discussed where the stored energy would come from. Take a look at these Warriors’ hard work! 🎢👏

Warrior Shout-Out: “Lacey goes above and beyond for students. She works diligently to meet student needs, help them feel welcome and loved, and support them in all areas of their lives. Lacey started a TRIBE Thanksgiving this year and allowed students to invite family and staff from the building to eat with and share their gratitude with. She is the first one to greet you with a smile or a joke on those tough days. She is always willing to find a positive in any situation.

Warrior Shout-Out: “Anna goes out of her way daily to be kind to each student and staff member as they go through her line. She knows the students by name and is always greets them with a smile. She is patient, kind, understanding and looks out for the best interest of each child. NOW for the good part..... her food is AMAZING. She has to not only deal with the regular school lunches but also has to cater to students that are gluten free or pureed or other dietary needs. My students love the sack lunches she prepares for field trips and look forward to them. I have been in multiple schools throughout my teaching career and Maple (by far) has the best food of any. Teacher's specials are ALWAYS delicious and you can tell she adds all the extras to make each special just what it is called.... SPECIAL. Thank you Anna for going above and beyond every single day!”

Jackie is just the best! She provides love through food, and does so in many different ways, for many different gathers, occasions, meetings, etc. She is a hoot to chat with as well. Anytime someone can fill my belly and make me laugh when we chat, that’s my kind of people! I’m so thankful for Jackie and the incredible service she provides for our students specifically, and I’m thankful we have her at Horizon Elementary. Thank you for all you do!

“Super Dave Harper is the kind of colleague who makes Smithville High School shine—literally and figuratively! Every interaction with Dave comes with a smile, a joke, or even a song, making the school day brighter for everyone. His work ethic is second to none. Dave hits the ground running from the moment he arrives and continues giving 110% until the end of his shift. Students know Dave by name, which speaks volumes about the relationships he builds. He responds promptly to every request, solving issues with incredible efficiency and ensuring that Smithville High School always looks its best. Beyond his hard work, Dave takes the time to coach and communicate with others, lifting up his colleagues and sharing his expertise. One of Dave’s most inspiring qualities is the kindness and patience he shows in his interactions with our essential skills students. Whether it’s in the cafeteria or around the school, Dave values their contributions, treating them with understanding and gratitude every day. Smithville High School wouldn’t be the same without Super Dave. We are so proud to call him a colleague and a friend. Thank you, Dave, for all that you do”
