This morning, Blackshear Elementary held a special luau-themed faculty meeting filled with celebration, appreciation, and recognition.
We honored four incredible retirees as they begin an exciting new chapter: 3rd grade teachers Tammy Jeffords and Debby Lanier, special education teacher Nancy Smith, and student support provider Alicia Sweat. Their years of dedication, compassion, and service have made a lasting impact on our students, staff, and school community.
We also proudly recognized 4th grade teacher Lauren Klein as our Teacher of the Year and Donna Carter as our Paraprofessional of the Year. Both ladies are so deserving of these honors and make a difference each and every day through their hard work, care, and commitment to our students.
From leis and tropical décor to laughter and heartfelt moments, the morning was a wonderful celebration of the people who help make BES such a special place. Congratulations to all of our honorees!
