Ms. Newburg
Ms. Summer's pick for Staff Member of the Week:
She writes; I’d like to nominate Karen Newburg for Staff Member of the Week! Karen comes in every day exuding positivity and enthusiasm! She works incredibly hard to provide an encouraging environment for growth and learning for her students. Karen lives down in the A-Wing with us so I thought it would be great to share what a fantastic force for good we have here that you all may not have the opportunity to see!
