Mollie Howard Woods Second-Grade Teacher “I love our emphasis on character values; teaching kids to thrive academically and in terms of their character is important to me, too. We prioritize ability grouping, making sure that kids can learn at their level and feel successful, which really helps in their growth. It helped me as a kid.” Kaylee Sparks Pitts Teacher Mentor “I went from a student to a sweeper after high school, to a paraprofessional during college, to a teacher, and now a teacher mentor.” Allyson Pierce Admin Assistant, Data Manager Other employees not pictured: Alaysha Whitehead Paraeducator Hayden Howard Paraeducator The following employees are still in high school or college and work part-time as custodial sweepers: Bella Livingston Lizzie Manning Annabelle Rowley Evan Rowley Sam Ramirez Rachel Wright Reading Interventionist “I have so many good memories here.
