Orange Spot:

Courtney took a big leap from preschool to fifth grade this year, and she is doing a fantastic job! She has embraced the change with such a positive attitude and has worked hard to create a classroom where her students feel welcomed, supported, and excited to learn. Her students absolutely love her and are genuinely enjoying being in her class. Courtney brings a positive light to the red hallway, and her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. We are so lucky to have her at LES and love watching her shine in this new role!
