Madison Elementary School District

We’d like to recognize Ashley Sarmiento, Library Associate at Madison Simis Elementary School for receiving the Shining Star Award!💫

Ashley Sarmiento possesses a rare, infectious enthusiasm for literacy that transforms the way students see the world. When she reads to a class, her face lights up. That energy is caught by the students, making even the most reluctant readers curious about what happens on the next page. Her impact goes far beyond checking books in and out. Ashley understands that for a child to love reading, they need to see that authors are real people with stories to tell. She worked to bring in guests like Mac Barnett, whose engaging and humorous presence turned a standard school day into a memorable event. Ashley also recognized that some students needed a dedicated space to celebrate their love of reading. This year she started a book club, giving kids a community where being a bookworm is something to be honored. In that circle, students learn to be inquirers and open minded thinkers. Ashley jumps in to save the day without hesitation wherever she is needed. As a parent in the district, she is one of the school’s strongest advocates. She balances her professional role with a personal investment in the community's success. Madison Simis is fortunate to have a librarian who works so hard to ensure every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to pick up a book.

Congratulations, Mrs. Sarmiento! 🎉
