🐾Celebrating Our Teacher & Support Staff of the Month! 🐾We are so excited to celebrate Josh Elmhorst, our Teacher of the Month, and Jessica Cannavo Andreski, our Support Staff of the Month!

🍎Mr. Elmhorst is new to Strack this year but not new to KISD. He teaches 6th grade math. He leads with kindness, integrity, and compassion and is always willing to jump in wherever he is needed. He has been an incredible addition to our 6th grade team, and our kids absolutely love him!

⭐Ms. Andreski Cannavo has been the smiling face of our front office and is now stepping into her new role as our Attendance Secretary! She ALWAYS has a smile on her face, brings so much light and positivity to our campus, and is an absolute joy to be around.

We are so lucky to have both of these amazing people as part of our Strack family! Congratulations! ❤️🖤🐾
