It’s a butterfly! It’s an elf! It’s the Cat in the Hat! No, wait … it’s Teacher Aide Debbie Stiles from Jackson Heights, today’s honoree for Education Support Professionals Week!

“Debbie is reliable, fun, and flexible,” begins principal Ryan Estey. “She even shows up on days in costumes to greet kids with other wonderful support staff.” Previous outfits have included a Hawaiian luau theme and multiple clown get-ups—all to make students smile!

Mmmmm … what’s that delightful scent wafting down the hall? It must be muffin Friday, with goodies coming out of the oven in High School room 108, under the leadership of Teaching Assistant Kristine Trevett-Jones! She is today’s honoree for Education Support Professionals Week.

It was a wonderful celebration of school pride last Thursday on the turf field for the "First and Last Hundred Yards!" Kindergarteners representing the "First Hundred Yards," and seniors representing the "Last Hundred Yards," walked hand-in-hand through a cheer tunnel of parents and community members lining the field from endzone to endzone. 

In recognition of National Principals Month, the GFNation community is coming together to celebrate the outstanding dedication and leadership of its school principals. This month serves as a reminder of the vital role these educators play in shaping the future of their students and schools.
