Our Student Government Association sponsors a quarterly award where students in grades 1-5 can vote for the Sunshine Award, which recognizes a staff member who is excellent, caring, and supportive of the students. We have a new Principal and this year Mr. Gordon received about 12 student votes which is a lot, since students most often vote for the classroom teachers who they spend the most time with. For Mr. Gordon to receive this number of votes means the students know he’s interested in them, as he is there in the hallways talking with children and coming into the classrooms sometimes to read books. Mrs. Elliott, a 3rd Grade Teacher, won for this quarter, but the votes for Mr. Gordon show the students think he is kind and supportive.
