🌟 November Classified Employee of the Month: Garrett Johnson

South Hills Middle School – Head Custodian

Garrett began his job thinking it would just be a job—but the more time he spent with students, the more motivated he became to inspire them to do good. His favorite memory? A birthday when teachers had their students sing to him all day long. He’s not a “birthday guy,” but it made his day.

From the Principal:
“Garrett is the heart of our building. His attention to detail, quick response, and genuine care keep our school running smoothly. He supports staff, greets students with kindness, and steps in without being asked. Garrett models positivity and integrity, and his efforts to involve students in caring for our school build a strong community of respect.”

To wrap up their two-week study of the African safari, Morningside 2nd graders took a field trip to Herrett’s Center — and what a wild experience it was! They got to touch some cool reptiles while they were there and explore all the attractions! 🐍🦎✨

Learning truly comes alive when curiosity leads the way!

🌟 November Certified Employee of the Month: Chelcy Rodriguez

Harrison Elementary School – 1st Grade Teacher

Chelcy’s inspiration to teach came from her mother and her 5th-grade teacher, Miss Kessell—two women who taught her love, support, perseverance, and belief. Today, she brings those same qualities to her first graders.

From the Principal:
“Mrs. Rodriguez is extraordinary. She pushes her students to grow, connects deeply with each child, and pours her heart into her classroom. Former students return year after year to share their lives with her—proof of her lasting impact. This year, she has gone above and beyond to understand and support the unique needs of one of her students. Her dedication enriches the entire Harrison community.”

We were thrilled to welcome Mr. Franklin from Canyon Ridge High School for an exciting science presentation. He wowed students with a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrated both physical and chemical reactions in action! 🧪💥

This real-world connection to classroom learning sparked curiosity and excitement among our students — and we’re sure it will inspire a love for science for years to come! 👏🔍

Thank you, Mr. Franklin!

💪🔬 In science class, Harrison’s 3rd graders learned all about forces — and then used that knowledge in the ultimate experiment: Tug of War vs. the adults! With teamwork, strategy, and a little science on their side, they put their learning to the test by challenging staff members to see who would come out on top. Let's just say... the results were pulling in the students' favor! 👏🧠💥
