To our principal, kindergarten teacher, boss, and best friend — Nicole 💛
Nicole is truly one of a kind. She wears more hats than anyone realizes, yet somehow still shows up every single day giving everything she has to our school, students, and staff.
She pours her whole heart into teaching and leading. She believes in her students before they believe in themselves and works tirelessly to make sure every child feels safe, loved, supported, and capable.
What people don’t always see are the early mornings, after-hours work, endless papers, last-minute schedule changes, quick lunches, difficult conversations, and the mental load she carries long after the school day ends. She somehow manages all of it running on coffee and prayers while still making everything look calm, organized, and magical. 😂
She celebrates the little wins that matter most — the first sentence read independently, the shy child raising their hand, the student finally believing, “I can do this.”
Nicole leads with kindness, strength, patience, and a work ethic that inspires everyone around her. Our school is better because of her, our students are better because of her, and we are all so lucky to work beside her, learn from her, and call her our friend.
The school truly would not be the same without her. 💛
