Hawk Thoughts & Happenings
Team Pennoyer,
There's absolutely nothing like seeing students and staff connect in our building and care for one another. Here's a moment that I loved capturing of our little Hades helping out to fill teachers' mailboxes with the support of Miss Barzano at this side. I know these kinds of things go on every week, and it's truly what's so incredibly special and important about our jobs.
Then there was the unforgettable moment this week when little Giancarlo was brought into the office with Mr. DeVivo after getting a nosebleed during PE class. Mr. DeVivo was right there with gloves on to assist, and Denise and Alana worked as an incredible team as always to support Giancarlo. He had moments he was ok, and sudden moments he got real scared of seeing the blood and not understanding what was fully going on. Through it all though, he just blurted something out a few times here and there. Little Giancarlo yelled, "I love you!" to the three of them as they helped him every way they could. And of course, this incredible team said, we love you too. It was absolutely the cutest thing.
The shout out this week comes from Rachel Michaels to Kate Barzano...
Kate Barzano is an incredible teacher. Kate is always positive and so easy to talk to you. Kate is such an amazing, dedicated, and passionate teacher. Kate relates to her students on a personal level, which I believe makes her an exceptional teacher. I enjoy working with Kate every day! I want to say thank you for your invaluable ideas and unique insights that make the kids and lessons so successful. It is amazing to see how you inspire these kids. Kate, you are a one-of-a-kind teacher! Also, congratulations on your engagement!!!
Hawk Action Items
Wanna make somebody's day at Pennoyer...don't forget about our staff shout outs we'd like to get started up again this year! It's real easy; if one staff member wants to give another staff member at Pennoyer a positive shout out for something that week, just send a quick email blurb to Adam, and he'll feature it in our weekly Hawk Happenings!
Just a friendly reminder about putting in Personal Days. Per the contract, please make sure to have these in 5 days before for approval in case it's an emergency. This will give us the best opportunity to find coverage and plan ahead. Thanks so much!
Great job with all the social media posts shared for the month of November! Keep it up in December. Here's the Google Form for teachers to complete. Thanks!!!
