Top Banana:

Marie Santoriello

 

 

Marie Santoriello is our next Top Banana.

 

We have the only school cafeteria in the district that is staffed by only one person—and Marie does an outstanding job of running it all on her own.  From preparing breakfast and lunch to operating the register, to managing student accounts, to conducting inventory, to cleaning up, and everything else in between, she is the model of efficiency.  She does everything with a smile and a kind word, and she is always ready to help with a staff eating event, often volunteering to stay late to help with clean-up.  Her commitment to our students and us is exceptional, and her kindness is an essential part of our day.

 

Thank you, Marie.  We are so very grateful for you.

The Banana Files: Matt Potak

  Top Banana: Matt Potak     Matt Potak is our next Top Banana.     This recognition is a little late in coming.   Matt Potak’s move to Pedro Menendez High School as their new head football coach is a tremendous gain for the Falcons.   He has a heart for children and a mind for football that will no doubt drive him to great success as he begins to transform the PMHS program (just go easy on the Jackets).   Unfortunately, this wonderful opportunity for Matt has come at a significant cost to Transition—our Mayor is irreplaceable, and the campus simply will not be the same without him.   Coach, we are so very proud of you, and we miss you already.   Your unwavering commitment to Transition was an example to all of us as you helped make our school a better place for our children.   Thank you, Matt, for your dedication to leading children forward.   Go Falcons!

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: 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.
