Check out this weeks Tomahawk of the Week, Mrs. Brandy Engel!
You already know. Brandy Engel is a rock star. She is so professional...so dedicated...so passionate....so smart. We are so blessed to have her. Many of us came into the school year nervous about LETRS and how hard it was going to be. Brandy made SURE that it was a piece of cake for all of us....she worked TIRELESSLY to make things move quickly and to protect teacher's valuable time. She puts that same effort and care into everything she does. She ALWAYS is working to support teachers. She holds her expectations rightfully high but she makes them attainable every single day. She has supported our district literacy team in the HMH adoption process and is cranking out helpful documents faster than we can read them! She has a can-do, will-do attitude and we are so incredibly lucky to call her ours.
Congratulations, Mrs. Engel! As this week's winners, you will receive a $25 gift card to Super Chix in Indian Land and a certificate for a session at Perspire Sauna Studio! Thank you Super Chix Perspire for your support!

Check out this weeks Tomahawk of the Week, Ms. Jessica Wheeler!
Ms. Wheeler is a fantastic teacher who loves and supports her students each day! She sets high expectations for student performance and behavior every day that students step into her classroom. We love how much passion she brings to her students in ELA by bringing life into the stories and class readings. She not only works hard inside the classroom but outside as well. Our school welcomes her passion for theater and all of her contributions to helping with Aladdin! She worked tirelessly to give students direction and provide choreography to make Aladdin such an amazing performance for our community to experience. We are thankful to have such a great person on our team at Harrisburg!
