Educators from across multiple districts came together for our final REMC 9 meeting of the year. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this a meaningful and impactful year of collaboration and learning. And judging by the picture, it’s pretty clear—we were busy leveling up our AI prompting game!
Preschool Teacher Heidi Lindner would like to nominate Preschool Support Aide Hailey Henry for an Orange Spot Recognition! Hailey leaped into her new role with energy, heart, and a clear passion for early childhood education. She’s not only driven to grow—she is growing, and fast. Yesterday, Hailey achieved a major milestone by passing her Child Development Associate (CDA)—a nationally recognized credential for early childhood educators. But she’s not stopping there. Hailey has already begun her next journey by enrolling in courses to earn her Associate of Arts in Child Development and is investing in herself and in the children and families we serve. Way to go, Ms. Hailey!
Summer said, "Hello from Orange Frog!!"
