New for this academic year is a staff piece for the Spotlight program. Four staff members were nominated by their peers and an Employee in the Spotlight winner was chosen. Jamie Champeon, kindergarten Title 1 educational technician; Andrea Philbrook-Cooper, special education teacher; Jeannine Reece, middle school guidance; and Wendy Berce, administrative assistant, all came forward to be recognized.

School administrators chose the winner, and the December Employee in the Spotlight honor went to Philbrook-Cooper. All four of these staff members will have a designated space in the parking lot for the month of January.
