The Banana Files: Amy Ceaser

 



Top Banana:

Amy Ceaser

 

 

Amy Ceaser is our next Top Banana.

 

We have needed a school counselor for the Gaines program for a long time.  So, when we received approval to hire one last spring, we were determined to find the right fit for our campus.  Amy has been just the person we were seeking.  She wasted no time in learning the program, the people, and the culture—and how she can best support our students and foster their success.  Although she especially enjoys coordinating state assessments, she excels at developing relationships with students while pushing them forward.

This is National School Counseling Week, when we take time to acknowledge the invaluable role our counselors play in helping students to learn and grow.  Amy exemplifies all that we celebrate about our counselors during this week of appreciation.

 

Thank you, Amy.  We are grateful for the difference that you make.

The Banana Files: Angie Martin

  Top Banana: Angie Martin     Angie Martin is our next Top Banana.     What sets the stage for our success on this campus each day is the attitude we bring with us—and an outstanding attitude has been a common characteristic among our Top Bananas.     Angie is another excellent example--she comes to work each day with an unflappable disposition of warmth and kindness and a wonderful sense of humor, no matter what challenges the day brings (if you catch her at the right moment, you may even find her dancing in the hallway).   Angie’s ongoing commitment to doing what’s best for her students, her colleagues, and the school, while remaining positive and resilient, is what helps drive our success. Thank you, Angie, for your exemplary work ethic and for making a critical difference in the Gaines program.

The Banana Files: Stephanie Green

Top Banana: Stephanie Green     Stephanie Green is our first Top Banana.   Although Stephanie is a fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks, she has otherwise distinguished herself as an outstanding member of our team.  We were once again impressed to see her in action on the playground on Monday.  She faced yet another impossible situation and solved it with the same determination that she demonstrates in the woods when hunting deer.  If there is one thing I've learned, it has been not to mess with Stephanie--no matter how much I think I know about the rules of the wilderness (and NASCAR).  She will just wait you out, and then . . . BOOM. Thank you, Stephanie.  You help make this a better place for all of us.

The Banana Files: Nancy Seyler

  Top Banana: Nancy Seyler     Nancy Seyler is our next Top Banana.   As we prepared for the challenges of opening the school in August, we were finally granted a nurse for our campus, and we are immensely grateful that Nancy agreed to take the job.   She has excelled at quickly establishing an efficient clinic and a supportive and caring presence, and her expertise has been essential to us as we manage today’s additional health concerns.   We have known that we have needed a nurse for years, but we didn’t realize just how much we needed one until Nancy arrived.   Our school feels whole now that she is here, caring for our children (and us).   I know that Mr. Diaz in particular is especially grateful for her support. Thank you, Nancy.   We don’t know what we would do without you!
