This week’s Love-A-Lot award goes to Mrs. Neal! Mrs. Neal sees each child as an individual and works tirelessly to build meaningful connections, especially with some of our most challenging 5th grade students. Through her patience, compassion, and commitment, she creates an environment where students feel valued, supported, and capable of success.

In addition to her classroom responsibilities, she generously gives her time to support our cheer team and is always willing to stay after hours to help wherever needed, often without being asked. Her selflessness, positive attitude, and genuine care for our school community make a lasting impact on students, families, and colleagues alike.

Her dedication exemplifies what it means to lead with heart and put students first. She is truly deserving of the Love a Lot Award for the countless ways she supports, encourages, and inspires those around her every day.

In addition to these responsibilities, Mrs. Cadenas goes above and beyond to ensure students and families feel welcomed, supported, and connected. She serves as an important bridge between home and school, helping families navigate communication and ensuring students have the tools they need to succeed academically and socially.
