At last night's BOE Meeting we were fortunate to also celebrated the May USD 480 Educator of the Month, Mrs. Fuller from Meadowlark! She has held several positions in her 25 years at USD 480, starting as a parent volunteer when her children first started school. She then went on to serve as a substitute, paraprofessional, kindergarten teacher, instructional coach, before her current role at the Meadowlark interventionist. She is well known passion, energy, and enthusiasm. Mrs. Fuller sought out, professionally and personally, for her insight and willingness to help. We are so thankful to have Mrs. Fuller continue to be such a tremendous part of USD 480!

At tonight's BOE Meeting we celebrated the April USD 480 Educator of the Month, Mr. Babinec from Eisenhower Middle School! Like any good coach, he brings a lot of energy to whichever sport he is coaching and also to all of his math classes. He constantly finds new ways to teach and develop students' character using the Leader in Me 7 Habits. Mr. Babinec is a passionate and dedicated educator with incredibly strong energy. Every day in his classroom he displays excitement about the math content for the day. Even after numerous years of teaching, he is always incorporating new strategies into his lessons. Most recently, students were generating charts and and predictions using March Madness basketball scores to review mean, median, and mode. His classroom is always a buzz with academic energy. We are so grateful to have Mr. Babinec teaching and coach at USD 480!

Today is School Lunch Hero Day! That doesn't really fit our cafeteria workers as they provide more than lunch and also work to feed our students when school isn't in session. But we are so happy to have this opportunity to celebrate all they do for our staff and students! Having healthy and ample access to food it vital to a child's ability to learn, so without these incomparable ladies our students would be lost. Join us in celebrating all of our USD 480 Cafeteria Workers!
