Help us celebrate our newest Golden Tray Award winners! 🏆

Congrats Mrs. Mitchell’s class!

Earning the Golden Tray takes super cafeteria teamwork! This class rocked their lunchtime expectations by staying in their seats, raising their hands, and showing kindness and responsibility from start to finish.

We are so proud of their awesome manners and teamwork. Lunchtime rockstars!

We may be a couple of days behind, but we couldn’t let Coach Appreciation Day pass without celebrating our amazing instructional coaches: Mrs Hightower, Mrs. George, and Mrs. Thompson! As well as our PE coaches: Coach Thompson and Coach Walker!

From supporting teachers and strengthening classroom instruction to encouraging our students to grow, move, and do their best, our coaches make such a difference at JE Rhodes Elementary. We are grateful for the time, energy, encouragement, and heart they pour into our students and staff each day.

Thank you for all you do to help our Vandals learn, grow, and succeed!

🌟 October Employee of the Month – Ashley Williams! 🌟
We are excited to recognize Ashley Williams as our October Employee of the Month!

Ashley has embraced her new role as a third-grade reading teacher with enthusiasm, confidence, and a positive attitude! After spending several years teaching kindergarten, she made the transition to third grade this year and has taken on the challenge like a champion!

Ashley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her new role. Her strong understanding of early literacy and the foundational skills students develop in their earliest years of school gives her a unique perspective on how to meet students where they are and help them grow as readers.
She has stepped into her new role seamlessly, bringing positivity, dedication, and a team-first attitude every step of the way. Her willingness to embrace change and do what is best for students makes her such a valuable part of our campus.

We are so thankful for Ashley and the heart she brings to JE Rhodes each day! Congratulations, Ashley! We are so glad you're part of our team! ❤️
