Parent Spotlight:

Ashley Lightbourn - KACCSE

Ms. Lightbourn is a wonderful parent of a 1st grade scholar and a 2nd grade educator in Team Heshima. She exudes a tremendous amount of care, concern and support for her child and all the scholars in her class and everyone she interacts with throughout our school. She brings joy to our building in the form of smiles, hugs and encouragement.
