Teacher of the Year
Westside Impact
We got to celebrate Mary Ellen's Teacher of the Year Westside Impact for Palo Verde School on Tuesday. This is such an honor and special day. Here are a couple pics from that day. Mary Ellen is also a finalist for Arizona Teacher of the Year for Arizona Rural Schools. We will know more on this at a later date. Congratulations Mary Ellen!!
One of Mary Ellen's notable achievements is the implementation of a "genius hour" for our gifted students, a program that has garnered immense appreciation and enthusiasm from our students. This initiative not only showcases her innovative approach to education but also underscores her commitment to nurturing the talents and passions of each student.
Mary Ellen's impact at our school in less than two years has been profound and transformative. Her collaborative spirit, positivity, and can-do attitude have not only fostered a supportive environment but also inspired others to strive for excellence.
