Congratulations to Staff All-Star Caitlyn Baker!

Not satisfied with simply providing interventions as the needs come to her, she has been going into every single classroom weekly to educate ALL students on interactions, behaviors, relationships, respect, and finding success. Her non-stop support of students and staff throughout the building is infectious, and her impact stretches far beyond her job title because of it. Find out how she honors others, builds community, and goes above and beyond, hourly, to make students successful.
