Laurie Powell, Teacher @ Liberty Elementary
“Laurie works hard to build strong and lasting relationships with students and families. She has personally called each of her students multiple times throughout the school closure, checking in on them and letting them know she is there for her. She and her colleagues have delivered packets to their students during each packet distribution. She has even delivered lunch to a family in need daily since the pandemic began. While she wants no recognition, she is truly an amazing educator and person! Our Liberty Family is lucky to have her here helping to Make It Happen!”
Kim Reising, Building Assistant @ Liberty Elementary
“Kim goes above and beyond in our school office each day. She is relentless in completing any task assigned to her, ensuring exceptional quality. Mrs. Reising regularly anticipates the need for something to be done and carries out the task before even being asked. She successfully organized and carried out our most successful school fundraiser right before the pandemic began and ensured that each person received their items after the school was closed. She is someone that you can count on to Make It Happen at our school!”
Liz Alcala, Instructional Assistant @ Liberty Elementary
“Liz is someone that brings light wherever she goes. When our school building closed, Liz volunteered to come to school and help to communicate with our Spanish speaking families to ensure communication remained fluid and consistent. She can be called on day and night to help translate or support our families in any way. Liz also comes to school each day while lunch sacks are served to help the foodservice staff and administration serve meals and communicate with families. No matter the event or occasion, we can count on Liz to be the first to volunteer! We are lucky to have Miss Alcala here Making It Happen for staff and students!”
