🗣️🏆 It’s time to recognize our two Core Value Award Winners for the month of September! Congratulations to:
🌟 Natalie Iver, Title 1 Instructional Coach/Academic Interventionist at Cimarron, was nominated for COLLABORATION. Ms. Iver has done a tremendous job welcoming and leading the new Cimarron teachers. She was the driving force behind ensuring their first day got off to a great start with meaningful, need-to-know information that has helped make them successful.
🌟 Allie Nobles, Elementary Counselor at Chisholm, was nominated for BELONGING. Ms. Nobles spearheaded a random drawing of gift cards and duty coverage passes for staff members when they returned to school in August.
