The Top Banana

  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.  

  Top Banana: Sarah Horne-Rone     Sarah Horne-Rone is our next Top Banana.     As we all know, it’s been a tough year.   From dealing with COVID- 19 to being short-handed for several months, we have faced some significant challenges.   No matter how tired or frustrated we have been at times, however, we have always been able to count on Sarah to brighten our day with her cheerful, kind, and warm spirit, which can be contagious if you spend any time with her.   She has been such a blessing to our morale, and she of course does a wonderful job working with our students, with the same compassionate heart.   Thank you, Sarah, for continuing to brighten our campus each day.
