We are so excited to see that our amazing counselor, Mrs. Hurt, was elected as the Outstanding Educator of the Year for 2015-2016! Our class nominated her for this award. We wrote out our evidence on the nomination forms as a way to write for an authentic purpose! We could not be more rewarded than to see our nominations be so persuasive. What a thrill. Mrs. Hurt deserves this recognition and we were happy to play a part in this surprise!

8) Mrs. Hurt oversees the Navigator Club which helps a small number of students check-in and check-out before and after school, so that they have an extra set of eyes on their behaviors and homework completion.
