This week, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate a truly remarkable member of our team: Ms. Isley!

As many of you know, she stepped in mid-year to take over our amazing fourth-grade class. Stepping into a new classroom, especially mid-year, can be a daunting task. However, Ms. Isley has embraced the challenge with incredible enthusiasm and dedication.

She has quickly established a positive and supportive learning environment for our fourth graders. Ms. Isley has a knack for building relationships with students, creating a safe space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions." She even has some baller basketball skills!

We've all been impressed by Ms. Isley's professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care for our students. She has seamlessly integrated into our school community, collaborating with teachers and staff to ensure the continued success of our fourth graders.

Ms. Isley, thank you for your incredible contribution to our school! We are so grateful for your hard work and dedication.
