Yvonne is completing her 2nd year with Orenda. One of the campus administrators shared, “Mrs. Perry exemplifies what it means to be an exceptional educator. She generously shares her knowledge, conducts herself with the highest levels of professionalism and kindness, and engages fully in all that she does. I have worked alongside Mrs. Perry many times, and always walk away with more knowledge, support, and help than I could ever have expected.”
Her principal at Nolan Creek, Dr. Gamble said, “Yvonne utilizes data-driven instruction to meet students where they are.

A note from Dr. Gamble: What a year it's been! 🌟 Before we head into summer, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate all of you.
To our incredible students 🎓—you are the heartbeat of this school. Every achievement today came from your choices: choosing to try again when things got tough, choosing kindness for a classmate, and choosing to give your best effort day after day. You've earned every bit of this celebration.
To our families 💙—thank you for sharing your children with us and for trusting us as partners in their growth. Today's success is a direct reflection of your love and support.
To our remarkable faculty and staff 👏—your tireless dedication, late nights, and unwavering belief in every student here make all the difference.
To our PTA leadership and volunteers 🙌—you've done so much more than raise funds this year; you've raised our spirits. Whether you were decorating hallways, cutting laminating, sorting supplies, or keeping events running smoothly, your countless hours have left an imprint on our campus every single day. Our students, teachers, and families feel your impact deeply.
As summer begins, carry this year's spirit with you 🌞—keep learning, keep exploring, and keep supporting one another.
Have a wonderful, safe, and happy summer vacation. Congratulations to all of you!
