Congratulations Staff Members of the Month!

Congrats to Mrs. Blakey and Mr. Clawson, our February staff members of the month! To celebrate, each of you will receive a gift card to your favorite store and from local partner, The Butler’s Pantry. Your pictures are also posted in the office at each campus!

Highlights from your nominations:
Mrs. Blakey (Billingsville campus Spanish teacher): “Senora Linda seems to truly love and take pride in her job as a Spanish teacher. She has done an amazing job with the Deeper Dive program and my son is always excited for her class. I appreciate how well she communicates with parents about her needs and the things she has planned for the students.” And “Senora Blakey makes Spanish FUN! She is always trying to find creative ways to teach her students, like playing games and learning songs in Spanish and eating cultural treats.”

Mr. Clawson (Cotswold campus Instructional Assistant, Behavioral Specialist): “Mr. Clawson has worked at Cotswold for over 25 years. He is a positive male role model that the students look up to. He goes above and beyond to help in all capacities at the school. In his current position he must meet students where they are and have those deep discussions that promote real change. I have had the opportunity to see him one on one with students and his “Keeping it Real Speeches” are some of the best. He develops relationships with students that last beyond Cotswold. Day after day, he always shows up!
