EV Family Celebrations
"She goes above and beyond for the students that she works with. She is very patient, willing to try new things, and dedicated to making sure they’re learning. Not only does she do that, she navigates through many language barriers, locates parents to get signatures, and makes sure basic needs are met."Mrs. Sprecher is always doing what is best for children!!!"
"Mrs. Palmer is very quiet and likes to go unnoticed, but she needs to be noticed because she is a great asset to our Eastview family! She sees something that needs done and she just does it. She is amazing!!! She assists in your classroom and is wonderful at it, most of the time you don't even know she is there because she is so professional and respectful about it."
"Kayla reached out to a coworker in need, without question, to offer positivity, guidance & love."
"When Denise says "yes" to something, she goes above and beyond to make sure that it is done and done well."
"At 335, I encountered Mrs. Sprecher in the bus room with what looked like a student that did not want to leave. She walked outside with him & gave him her bracelet to return to her tomorrow at school. This small act gave this struggling kiddo a memento & keepsake that I know made him feel safe. I love how loved he felt by Teresa!!"
"Mrs. Munson has a special connection with a student who has much love and respect for her. Over the years Mrs. Munson continues to occasionally bring in lunch for this student and they eat together. You can tell that this student truly looks up to Mrs. Munson."
"Beth is always going above and beyond for her students. She is always challenging them and myself as a coworker. She encourages me to look differently at curriculum and best practices for my students. She gives me suggestions like “You could easily change your centers to include stem or have a theme and incorporate stem and technology.” I listen to Beth because I know she would do it in her classroom. She makes it look so easy but in reality it takes a lot of time and planning. However, it is so worth it when I watch her students eyes light up daily when they do activities. My favorite is when they see if they can make houses that the Big Bad Wolf can’t blow down. I recently put paper over my windows in my classroom for a project, but I have discovered that I miss looking into her classroom and she recently told me she misses my dance moves. So that paper will be definitely coming down soon."
"My daughter was struggling with her morning routine. Traci allowed her to help in the cafeteria and showed her extra love this week. It was much appreciated and made a huge difference in her day!"
"My daughter was struggling with her new morning routine. Karla allowed her to help in the cafeteria and start her day on a positive note. It made a huge difference in her attitude for the day!"
"Mrs. Hurst is always around willing to help out in whatever way she can. She makes copies, helps out in the classroom, and notices the small details. She is awesome!"
"Courtney has a friendly smile on her face every time you see her."
"Melissa is very patient, has a wonderful sense of humor (thank God), goes with the flow when things are off schedule, and is tolerating her team members!!! She needs a medal!!!"
"Margi takes care of a lot in her classroom and usually does it without say a word about the crazy that’s happening!"
"
Gary always goes above and beyond in his daily workload. He always makes sure classrooms are clean and germ free, helps with small tasks around the classrooms that teachers struggle with, makes a point to build a relationship with the teachers and students, as well as protect classrooms rooms/supplies from M&M thiefs! Thank you Gary for caring for us and our students! We could NOT do it without you!"
"Karla has an great amount of patience! She is able to show students they are loved but expected to show respect all in the same breath! She goes above and beyond with showing love and helping all students in the school. And we definitely appreciate her tooth pulling skills! She has saved the day on numerous occasions! You are amazing Karla! "
"Miss Coulter has a personality that lights up the room. Her coworkers and students feel her love and dedication daily. She is wonderful!!"
"Steffie is kind and caring to her students and her coworkers. She always has a smile on her face even if her day isn’t going the greatest. Eastview is so lucky to have such a great teacher!"
"Kayla is willing to try new things and make learning fun for the kids! She loves to be stretched and challenged, all while smiling through the process."
"I asked Courtney about materials to use with an individual student. She graciously offered any materials she had and brought me other materials to use with this individual. It was very helpful, since the project is outside my current level of expertise."

"Jenny is helpful, considerate, and always willing to listen! She is appreciated and deserves to know it!"
"Linda goes above and beyond for the students that she works with. She is very patient, willing to try new things, and dedicated to making sure they’re learning. Not only does she do that, she navigates through many language barriers, locates parents to get signatures, and makes sure basic needs are met."
"Mrs. Wilcoxen seems to be adjusting well to her new role as our Eastview Kindergarten Music teacher. She shows such excitement and energy every day! Her passion for music shows through in her teaching. Glad she has become part of our Eastview Family"
"Mrs. Gillam is a wonderful asset to Eastview! She is always willing to join in. Her passion for art shows in her teaching. Her students are extremely lucky to have such a loving and knowledgeable art teacher! She truly cares for ALL of her students and handles each one with respect and passion. YOU ARE AMAZING!!"
"Whenever we are all feeling overwhelmed he knows exactly how to calm all the crazy woman he has to work with down. He listens to use complain about our husbands, boyfriends, dogs, laundry, etc. and he doesn't skip a beat. He really deserves a medal to survive some of his days in Pod B."
"Today I witnessed a student after school yell, "I love you!" to Mrs. Matzke in the hallway. Without hesitation Mrs. Matzke yelled, "I love you too!" right back. The fact that there was no hesitation from her made my heart so happy."
"Yesterday Mr. Lindmark attended art class. It was awesome to see him participate in the project, interact with our students, and get his thoughts on the class. Thank you for coming and feel free to come to art class anytime! I hope it was a great brain break."
"This nomination is for three people. Margi, Kayla, and Kendall. Thank you for attending the PBIS conference and representing Eastview School."
"Kyle is always searching for every possible way for his students to learn. He fearlessly forges ahead without any negativity. He teaches and lives the growth mindset."
"Denise is always sunshine even on cloudy days. Her energy is infectious and her laugh is contagious. Her students benefit from her grand heart that drives her class towards being the best they can be, everyday."
"I asked Mrs. Fraga for help in my classroom one day when she was busy doing a million other things. She asked what I wanted to focus on and was already planning her lesson in her head as she walked away. She came back into my classroom later that week with an amazing lesson and visuals for my students. I know that she has a million other things that she needs to do for her students, but she still took time to make my classroom a priority. I am not sure I ever got the chance to tell her how thankful I am to work with such a caring and optimistic coworker. She is truly a wonderful person and I am happy that the students at Eastview have such a positive role model."
"Everyday I see Mrs. Knapp taking various students down to her classroom & later escorting them back to their classroom. Today, I got to witness a little something extra. As Mrs. Knapp was dropping kiddos off in Pod A, from afar, I saw a kiddo say something to her & then he jumped into her welcoming arms for a big hug!! The next student in line needed a bear hug, too, and was welcomed with a genuine Mrs. Knapp smile. It is so great working with men & women who truly love each & every one of our students. Thank you, Mrs. Knapp, for reminding me why we do what we do!!!❤"
"I love when Mrs. Freeman comes into our classroom. She is such a help & a breath of fresh air with input & helping all students. Tess has always had students' best interest at heart. A few days ago, she shared with me some great ideas for a student of ours, ideas I hadn't even thought of trying. Now that we've made small changes, I can notice the benefit they've been having not only on our one particular student, but the ripple effect that is taking place in the classroom. Thank you, Tess, for always being a quick bathroom break, an ear to listen, a voice to speak & a wonderful contribution to our school. You are the heart of EV."
"Mrs. Flanagan helps me get through my Fridays by surprising me on occasion with different treats. It is a small gesture, but one that I appreciate! Thanks for being all that you do at our school!"
"I can always count on Mrs. Edwards to keep me on track! She is always offering me copies of things she is doing in class, and is a great person to bounce ideas off of! She also is fun to just talk to and get ya through the day! Thanks for being awesome!"
"Devan was a great addition to our third grade team! She fits right in with Mel and I! We have a lot of fun together both at school and outside of school! I enjoy coming to work knowing that we have such a fun group! Thanks for being awesome!
Gary does a lot more than just cleaning our classrooms and school. He keeps certain teachers in line on a DAILY basis. He puts up with messy rooms, totes out of place, chairs out of order, calendar parts missing, curtains down, garbage cans that NEVER stay emptied-no matter how many times a night he empties them, crazy conversations and unique requests."
"Steffie is always willing to go the extra mile on a daily basis to help anyone who needs it. She answers any and all questions and she is makes herself available even when she doesn't want to. We are all so lucky to have her!
Mrs. Anderson came into my classroom during social center time and played "drive thru" with a few students. She literally sat on the other side of the counter from the kitchen area and they created a drive thru window. She was placing her order and the children were making her food and handing it thru the window to her. It was amazing!!!"
"Mrs. Sprecher, I can not say enough about her and what she does on a daily basis. She helps me and my students every day. We would be lost without her, literally lost!!! You may find me and/or my students wondering around the school."
"Kenzie loves on kids all day every day. She is one of the younger teachers in our school and someone we can all look up to. The way she cares for our kiddos is truly selfless."
"Carrie is a shoulder to lean on, a positive influence, and someone who truly listens."
"Mel is a consistent ear. She is great at listening when you are having a rough day, but also great at leaving the conversation with a positive note. I am blessed to call her a friend."
"Adam does a great job brightening my days with an email or uplifting conversation. This may be something that seems simple to him, however it is greatly appreciated!"
"Steffie is amazing at going with the flow....evening when objects are flying at her head!!! Thanks for being a friendly face to chat with!"
"McKenzie stepped up and agreed to tackle the monster known as the sound system on rehearsal day. The electronics can be very intimidating, but she was willing to try it since the sound crew was not available to run it at rehearsal."
"Denise agreed to cover one of my classes while I was rehearsing the first and second graders. She interacted with the students while they were practicing their recorders. (Plus, she was in a room with 20ish recorders playing at once)"
"Sherry comes into my room everyday willing to take on the most challenging students. She never complains and really pushes my students to be their very best everyday. She takes the time to really get to know each student and figures out how they learn best. In her success group she's always extending her lessons and doing more on her own if she notices her group is really enjoying something. I appreciate how Sherry is never afraid to go the extra mile for her students and co-workers."
"Mel is such a team player within Eastview & outside. She watched my son at basketball practice so I could coach the older kiddos AND when my son woke up with a fever, she took the reigns & really stepped up for our Family Night. As a Mom, I never plan for days at home with my babies and I always feel work guilt for doing it. However, Melissa made me feel so comfortable because I knew she had everything handled. Thank you for your help in all areas of EV!!!!"
"Kyle is such a reliable team member. Without hesitation, he helped me on an impromptu stay-at-home-day with a sick kiddo. He always gives me advice on lessons, suggestions for my classroom & just a great person to spend my days with. Thanks for being you."
"I reached out to Marianne for a suggestion on a classroom poster. I thought she had told me previously that she could blow up a picture so that I could make it into a classroom poster. She wasn't sure she could but gave me a great suggestion. Next thing I know, a notification comes through on my Google Drive that she had sent me an updated, larger version of my picture to print at a store. I didn't ask yet she helped me. I love what Marianne brings to Pod C!!!"
"Devan always lends a listening ear.....and chocolate! She is a wonderful friend and is greatly appreciated."
"Listening to Kyle take on circle time in his room is really inspiring. I love the relationships he is building with his students. He does a great job helping students to feel heard and important."
"Beth is not someone I get the chance to talk with every day, but she is someone I feel I can go to for advice whenever it is needed."
"Traci volunteered to wash all students' house shirts. This was extremely helpful to teachers and greatly appreciated!"
"Do you want to know how AWESOME Ms. Spears is?!!! Devan was such am awesome addition to the Special Events Committee. Being short one team member & she stepped it up, decorated, handled a session completely on her own & made the night an amazing night for the families. Thank you, Devan, for shining your light & being such an amazing asset to EV!!!"
"Crystal is always willing to lend a helping hand. She stepped right up yesterday when I needed her help with our family reading night. She had everything organized and ready. It's so nice having co-workers that you know you can count on!"
"Devan is always willing to listen and give ideas. She isn't afraid to push me out of my comfort zone and make me try new things. She stepped up and helped tremendously at the reading night last night. She whipped out 6 table cloth tents faster than I could get our Jimmy John's ordered. (FREAKY FAST) For a girl who I make do crafts I'd say she is awfully crafty."
"Jen always has a smile on her face and is eager to take on the day. She is someone I know I can always talk to or ask for help. Her love for her students shows every time she comes to pick up a kiddo from my room. I don't know who smiles more the student or Mrs. Miller. When we needed her last night for reading night she didn't hesitate to step up. She was an excellent bear hunt leader!!"
"Mrs. Freeman uses every available minute of her day to help students. I am always amazed by her willingness to jump in and how natural she is as a teacher and role model for our kiddos. She has a wonderful attitude, and takes initiative with our students on a daily basis."
"I went to Mrs. Hale asking for advice on a student. Within an hour, she came to me with answers, examples, and research. She truly went above and beyond to help me help my student."
"Julie put her student first the other day when he was having a rough time. Even though it was her lunch she took time to spend some one on one time with the student during that time. She provided the student a break and calmly talked with him about his choices and what he could do differently next time."
"I had a student who was wearing his glasses crooked on his face for 2 days. Many people had tried to fix the broken glasses with no success. She took his glasses to Bard Optical and got them fixed in her own time. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of love and going above and beyond!" ~ Jeanine Gaumer
