Pawsitivity Award #77
Mornin’, Bearcat Country…
Today, I’d like to pass the Pawsitivity Award along to Maggie Parker. Like all our counsellors, Dr Parker works tirelessly for our kids’ benefit. Whether it’s steering our students toward just the right class schedule during the registration process, providing an empathetic ear during family emergencies, or following up with us to make sure we are clear on IEP or 504 accommodations, Dr Parker absolutely kills it with, and for, our kids.
Additionally, she exudes a Zen calm that I have yet to cultivate myself, but I’m working on… thanks for being a fantastic colleague, friend, and Bearcat!
Please keep up the awesome work, Dr Parker.

Pawsitivity Award #76
Good morning,
Thank you Maria!
I would like to pass the Pawsitivity award onto Chris Mayer. I appreciate his ability to effectively engage with a diverse range of students, from EL learners in his World History class to those in AP classes. The following are just a few examples of why Chris is deserving of this award:
1) Strategizing and working out a “game plan” with a student who missed a few weeks of school due to mental health issues. The student felt that Mr. Mayer truly cared about him/her as a whole, not just academically
2) Offering support and encouragement to a student who is debating whether to drop an AP course after a challenging test
3) Providing valuable insight during department chair meetings in a way that welcomes discussion
Chris is not just a colleague but also a teacher I deeply respect. Thank you!
Veronica
