Our Compassionate, Understanding, Big-hearted Staff spotlight this week is our one and only Gifted Resource teacher Mrs. Phillips! Here is what the nominators said about her: Mrs. Laurie Phillips is a brilliant teacher in our school who is doing a fabulous job of balancing the virtual world of meetings and instruction with the real-world demands she has upon her every day! It is amazing how well-organized and on top of things she is, especially as she is the only Gifted teacher in the school and must have a million irons in the fire! She is well-deserving of some shout-outs and accolades for the amazing work she does, the expertise and quality with which she does that work, and the kind and considerate way in which she interacts with all (students, parents, teachers, and administrators). She is one-of-a kind and one of the best!
