🐉💜 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MRS. AMBER JOHNSON! 💛📚
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mrs. Amber Johnson, our 6th–12th grade intervention teacher! ✏️✨
Mrs. Johnson plays an important role in helping our middle and high school Dragons navigate challenges, build skills, and find success in their learning. By meeting students where they are, offering extra support, and encouraging them to keep growing, she helps remind our students that everyone’s path to success looks a little different! We’re grateful for the patience, encouragement, and dedication Mrs. Johnson brings to our school community.
Thank you for helping our Dragons build confidence, overcome obstacles, and continue to Challenge, Grow, and Excel! 💜💛🐉
