"Amy is clearly The Ultimate Warrior. She is genuinely invested in our district, our staff, and climate and comradery of our Central Office family. She is so kind and thoughtful and often treats us with seasonal goodies and celebrations. One of our favorites is the annual hot-chocolate bar which is amazingly delicious! Amy is also very skilled in her work and always willing to help. She patiently assists staff with questions about payroll or benefits. When asked to gather data and pull reports, you can count any Amy to prepare clear and organized information--a true master of Excel spreadsheets! Amy is professional, knowledgeable, and organized in her work. She is also caring of others and giving of herself and sets a great example of being the perfect co-worker. For all that Amy is, she deserves to receive the Ultimate Warrior Award."

Mrs. Smith always has a smile on her face and a positive attitude no matter what challenges she faces! We moved rooms this past school year and she helped me pack and came in over the summer to get her ECSE room ready for the school year. Mrs. Smith and the other EC teachers are offering an Early childhood evening out monthly for our EC parents. Her kindness and gentle nurturing attitude encourages our EC students to do their best work. I am truly blessed to work with her!

Taking on the role of STUCO advisor while navigating the challenges of transitioning to a new building is no small feat.

Quinn is deserving of the Ultimate Warrior Award, because she goes above and beyond everyday. She always makes sure kids are being seen and heard and never lets them feel uncomfortable at school. Even if Lesa doesn't know a student she still will go out of her way to make this students day. She also NEVER stops teaching! Not only does she teach at school, but she does an amazing job tutoring. Lesa has also been a great mentor for myself as being new to the district. She really cares about my school life and personal life. She has been the best mentor ever!
📢 Just a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, October 18th, for a scheduled teachers' work day. We look forward to seeing you back in class on Monday. Enjoy the long weekend, Warriors!

Reba McNair - reba mcnair “Reba is an excellent classroom teacher to the students at Maple. She leads with compassion and understanding but also holds them to the high standards necessary in order for them to grow. She creates meaningful, engaging activities for them to demonstrate their learning in creative ways. She also very diligently serves the high school theatre students through her work on the co-curricular musical. She puts in countless hours to adjust music, create resources, and schedule rehearsals in a way that allows students to pursue things they are passionate about outside of theatre. That level of dedication to students in multiple buildings and in so many capacities makes her an Ultimate Warrior.” warrior shout-out *Ultimate Warrior Nominee* Maple Elementary School Music Teacher
