At Banyan Elementary, we love celebrating student achievement and recognizing the hard work, dedication, and growth our students demonstrate throughout the year.

A special thank you to City Furniture for their generous donation of this incredible prize and for their continued investment in our students and school community. Partnerships like yours help create memorable experiences and motivate our students to strive for excellence every day.

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.

This week’s Love-A-Lot Award goes to Mrs. Cadenas. Mrs. Cadenas provides incredible support to our school community each and every day. Mrs. Cadenas works tirelessly to support our ELL students through push-in instructional support, WIDA testing, parent meetings, conference translations, and assistance during breakfast each morning.

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. Her patience, compassion, flexibility, and positive attitude make a tremendous impact on both students and staff.

Thank you, Mrs. Cadenas for your dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our students and families. We appreciate all that you do! 💙
