🐾💙 DHS September Staff of the Month! 💙🐾
While many of us were enjoying some well-deserved time off over the summer, she was already hard at work on curriculum and preparing for a successful school year. She continues to put in long hours and has stepped up wherever needed, including combining classes at times while we were between teachers to ensure our students continued receiving instruction and support. She has also taken the lead with Algebra planning, communicates with families through phone calls home, and supports DHS outside the classroom by selling tickets at football games. Her willingness to take on additional responsibilities, support her colleagues, and do what is needed for our students makes a positive impact on DHS every day.
Congratulations Negay Campbell-Forbes! 🎉
