Please join us in congratulating our August Staff Members of the Month: Ms. Puckett, Ms. Benderson, and Ms. Born!
Ms. Puckett
Nominated by a parent, Ms. Puckett is described as “an exceptional teacher” who goes above and beyond for her students. Her classroom is a place of learning, care, and encouragement, and families deeply appreciate the time and heart she invests every day. One parent shared, “She is an amazing teacher and we love her!” We couldn't agree more—thank you, Ms. Puckett, for your unwavering commitment to excellence!
Ms. Benderson
Ms. Benderson’s dedication to her students shines through in every interaction. A parent of a former student wrote, “She truly cares about her students,” noting the personalized support she gave their son, who has very specific classroom and learning needs. Whether inside the classroom or out, Ms. Benderson ensures that every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to overcome challenges. “You can tell she wants her students to succeed in life,” the parent added. Thank you, Ms. Benderson, for being a powerful advocate for all learners.
Ms. Born
Behind the scenes and in the classroom, Ms. Born is a force of dedication and organization. One parent shared, “She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and organized,” and emphasized how easily students feel they can approach her. Her efforts over the summer have helped ensure a smooth and successful start to the school year. As the parent expressed, “The school year would not start off great without the hard work done behind the scenes for months to get to this point.” Thank you, Ms. Born, for the quiet strength and steadfast support you provide our school community.
