🏆 Golden Ladder Award Celebration! 🏆 After Christmas, Ms. Ella was presented with the Golden Ladder Award for helping her students climb to the top through hard work and growth. Following our most recent round of benchmark testing, she recognized another educator who helped his students climb even higher. During our faculty meeting on Monday, April 6, Ms. Ella proudly passed the Golden Ladder Award on to Coach Jowers for the incredible progress his students have made. We are so proud of Coach Jowers for the impact he is making in the classroom, and we applaud Ms. Ella for celebrating the success of others and continuing the spirit of encouragement among our staff. 👏 Congratulations, Coach Jowers—and thank you both for helping our students keep climbing!
