Hornets Nest Elementary School

Today is School Principal Day! We would like to recognize our principal, Dr. Crystal Gaymon. Show her some love today!

Happy National Assistant Principal Week to our favorite Assistant Principal, Mrs. Everett! Students and families, if you would like to show your appreciation this week for Mrs. Everett, draw her a picture, write her a nice note, or bring her one of her favorite things! Some of her favorite things are Chic-Fil-A, Snickers, Mentos gum, and the color red!

When asked what she loves about being an assistant principal, she said, “I love being an AP because I get to greet the little faces and welcome them with a smile! The most rewarding part is watching the students grow academically and witnessing their excitement as they master a new concept.”

This week is National School Social Work Week! Let’s celebrate our School Social Worker, Mrs. Z!! When asked about being a School Social Worker this is what she had to say. I became a School Social Worker because of the impact that I made with prior students that I have taught in years past. It was also important to me that I do my best to close the achievement gaps and any other barriers that students and families would encounter.

What I enjoy most about being a School Social Worker are the ways that I am able to support students and families with various resources. Educating students on conflict resolution and social emotional learning. My love for School Social Work grows daily as I watch students learn responsible and safe ways to learn.

Next week is Read Across America Week!
