10 Congratulations 2022 Circle of Excellence Winners! Presented at our June 7, 2022 UAPCS Charter School Conference in Layton, UT, these award winners represent excellence in Utah’s public charter schools. Employee of the Year, Cymberli Erni, Network Librarian, Ascent Academies of Utah Ms. Erni is so much more than a network librarian. She supervises each campus library and its Library Teachers as well as monitors the library collection expansion, reviews materials, and ensures Utah Library Core is accessed by the students. She creates amazing learning opportunities for students in the libraries by creating reading contests, book fairs, breakout rooms, arranging author visits, and many more activities for students schoolwide. Her thoughtfulness and humor makes her a favorite among colleagues. Ms. Sapoi stepped up as a former paraprofessional and took over a class mid-year. Within weeks there was a complete culture shift in the classroom. Students who were missing school were suddenly attending, problems that kept cropping up disappeared, and relationships were quickly formed with her students. Her students know they are valued and loved in her classroom. They see her as a role-model. They see in her a teacher who cares and expects her students to do great things. Rookie of the Year, Lavinia Sapoi, Endeavor Hall
