- The PreK Team at Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary is simply amazing! Shout out to Karolyn Jackson, Robinette Allen, Sandra Swain, Cassandra Best, Carmen Talley, Chanel Jackson, Judy Payne, Jamika Moore, Elizabeth Willis, Latrice Robinson, and Tishard Robinson. This morning they hosted four moving on programs for our youngest learners and the day could not have been more special, including singing, dancing, awards, lots of balloons, and treats. Kudos to this wonderful group of super talented individuals who showed up for their students, our families, and for each other. We appreciate you all and the incredible foundation you begin for our students.
- Thank you to Dr. Micheal Massa, HHS’s exceptional education admin. Your wealth of knowledge – but more importantly your compassion for our students and parents – is infectious. Dr. M, as he likes to be called, we thank you. You have made a tremendous difference to our school, and we truly appreciate all that you do for our exceptional department.
