Thank you to two of the very best instructional coaches on this special day! ❤️
We are incredibly grateful for Michele Howell, our Literacy Coach at New Union, and Kristy Gaddis, our Math Coach. Every day, they make a meaningful difference by working closely with teachers, sharing their expertise, offering encouragement, and helping turn curriculum into engaging learning experiences for students.
Michele supports teachers as they build strong literacy skills and inspire students to become confident readers and writers. Kristy helps teachers deepen math instruction, strengthen problem-solving skills, and give students the confidence to persevere. Their guidance reaches far beyond lesson plans—it helps teachers grow and gives students more opportunities to succeed.
Michele and Kristy are trusted partners, thoughtful collaborators, and constant sources of support for our teachers and administration. Their dedication, kindness, and passion for education make our school a better place every day.
Thank you, Michele and Kristy, for all you do to empower teachers, encourage students, and make a lasting impact on our school community. We appreciate you more than words can say! 📚✏️❤️
