MVPs to be Honored at August Board Meeting

Congratulations to this year's honored Making the Vision Possible (MVP) staff members. While our teachers are the heart of the district, the backbone is a group classified as full-time auxiliary, paraprofessional, and non-campus-based support professional team members. The MVP award recognizes these employees for helping “Make the Vision Possible” … they support our classroom teachers so our students can achieve to the highest level possible. Employees were nominated by fellow employees for exhibiting leadership, innovation, service, cooperation, and teamwork.

The following employees were nominated for MVP and received a token of our appreciation.
