Employee Recognition today for Michelle Fitzsimmons. ⁦Lori Rutherford⁩

Excited to welcome @Jhafner413 as a new ELC! You’re a welcomed addition to the team WCPSS Leadership Coaches

Jessie Hafner is the epitome of a champion for all kids. The Eastern Area is so thankful for her leadership as we look forward to her impact in her new role as Executive Leadership Coach.

Eastern Area team had an exceptional reflective day to mark the year. Principal PLCs shared their problem of practice journey; we had a strategic session around perception data and many laughs.

Welcome back! Wishing our MTYR students, staff and families an AMAZING 2024-2025 school year! #FromHereAnythingIsPossible

Powerful two days of leveling up with the best in the business.

Just a sample of the excellent eastern leaders on point this week.

And a highlight- I work with legends.

Congratulations to the leader of the Carver Elementary, Principal Wenitra Merritt on her selection as one of our 2024 Principal of the Year finalists! 🎉 We love celebrating our school leaders; thank goodness we've got two more #2024poy finalists coming soon!

All things are possible on the first day. All things can be rewritten for the second day.

Excited to welcome Ms. Alexis Hyatt as the next principal ForestvilleRdES. Ms. Hyatt is personable, motivated with an ability to connect to kids, families and staff. She is relentless in pursuit of high-impact outcomes for all students.

What that group of educators and families have done together Beaverdam Elementary is nothing short of astounding. And they are just getting started.

What an opportunity to IGNITE the spark of learning in our schools. Transformational instructional walkthroughs today. A big thank you to Dr. Karen Anderson and WCPSS district leadership for making this happen. NELA #LosLobos26
