She individually supports students in her classroom who are new to the country, need extra assistance, or need encouragement. Sydney’s positive influence and work at Spring Creek make a world of difference.
Amanda has gone above in her first year. She researched programs and apps, created materials for the coding program, taught herself the different software, and fine-tuned the instructional how-to aspects of these programs so students could successfully learn. She motivates the students to perform to their best abilities. She is the best computer specialist I’ve ever seen, and we are SO lucky to have her here at Sunset View!

Pure awesomeness. Tonja is an essential member of our Admin Team and a key contributor to keeping Wasatch moving forward daily. Every morning, Tonja records the day’s announcement, which is a masterpiece! She sings, wishes happy birthdays, talks up the school lunch, and even teaches a new word each day. The kids love hearing Mrs. Bob over the intercom and interacting with her in the office!

She has brought in the Adaptive PE Instructor to help the students with special needs, who are now thriving. She supports and connects with students who feel left out.
