Dear CHMS Families,
As you may recall, our amazing PTO sponsors our staff appreciation award, the “Best of the Nest” with a premium parking spot for the winner. Staff members nominate each other based on:
- Who has inspired you?
- Who is making you a better staff member?
- Who is making your day more enjoyable?
- Who is doing great things for kids?
- Who is consistently in your corner?
- Who is implementing innovative strategies in the building?
This award continues to demonstrate the inspiring, kind, and giving staff we have here at CHMS. The incredible words that are written toward each other in response to the thoughtful actions taken are inspirational.
This month, Mrs. Jen Scheuerman (8th grade ELA) was our lucky winner! A few comments shared about her were:
“Jen is just such an amazing teammate!”
“Jen is kind, she is patient, she is positive with staff and students, she thinks of others often, and has great ideas for making 8th grade awesome!”
Congratulations again to Mrs. Scheuerman and all of our nominated staff members.
Dr. Levi Brown
Principal, Clarendon Hills Middle School
