SMOY Beede Bear

Did you know that SMOY recognizes two teachers a month for doing the ordinary in an extra-ordinary way?  Each month two teachers are recognized by receiving a personal note and the Beede Bear to display in their classroom, in honor of Connie Beede.  When the Beede bears are given, a hard written personal note is also given to state what a wonderful thing the recipient did and how valuable they are to our school.  This month, one of the recipients was Miss Wilmes.

To Cindy Wilmes - The recipient of the Beede Bear is one of our most fashionable bears, but her sense of style has nothing to do with why she is so deserving.  I know that this year has been filled with struggles, between establishing a new position and taking on our own complicated IT issues.  Before school started, Cindy spent hours upon hours, staying late into the night, getting her classroom set up to match her vision of what it should look like -  a fun place for students to learn.  Her love and enthusiasm for teaching is inspiring.  With her passion and excitement in her voice, she captures the children's attention when she talks about things such as avatars, QR codes, and googling.  SHe is always smiling and maintains a positive attitude.  Cindy, you are the kind of person who lights up a room, and we are blessed to have you here, lighting up SMOY.
