It's no trick, help us celebrate our Support Employee of the Month for November - Justin Smith. Mr. Smith works in the district's IT department. One colleague says this, "Justin is always so friendly and helpful when technical issues arise at any site. His workload had to be overwhelming this summer and into the beginning of the school year with so many technological upgrades at different sites; however, he remained calm, consistent, friendly, and reliable. We are so thankful for his hard work and years of dedicated service to our entire district."

Huge treats for our November Elementary Teacher of the Month, Tracy McGowen. Mrs. McGowen works in our Team Room. One of her colleagues writes, " Tracy goes above and beyond to help all of her colleagues. She always has a positive attitude and is ready to de-escalate any situation with laughter. She loves all of our students but has a special heart for our students who struggle with trauma and special needs. We could not survive without her, and she plays an integral role in ensuring that all of our students are successful, no matter what challenges they face. We are so thankful for her!"

Congratulations to our Secondary Certified Teacher of the Month for November, Danny Webb. Mr. Webb teaches 5th-grade science and social studies. A fellow teacher says, "As a new employee to GPS, Mr. Webb has been a great mentor and helper to me. Whenever I have questions about teaching, Mr. Webb is always there to help me understand. He's always sharing resources to help me understand our grade's power standards and CFA. I truly appreciate him as a colleague."
