Tell Me Something Good- Our next shout-out goes to Ms. Teresa Lam at Page County High School, where she serves as the Attendance Secretary and In-School Suspension Coordinator. Her shout-out comes from her co-worker Beth Rowe, who says, "She always has a smile for students and she's a great co-worker and friend. " Great job, Ms. Lam, positivity and good work relationships make our days so much more enjoyable. Thank you for all you do for PCPS!

Tell Me Something Good! Robin Benson, Pre-K teacher at Springfield Elementary School, has received two shout-outs in our campaign. The first comes from Ms. Jennifer Woodward who says, "Robin has been such a blessing to me and my girls since day one! I never pictured my children having to deal with the things they do as their first experience in school, but Robin has made the transition as smooth as she can and I'll be forever grateful to her. My girls absolutely adore her and I know she will always have a special place in their hearts! Thank you Mrs. Benson you are a rock star!!" Her second shout out comes from Ms. Morgan Foster. Mrs. Benson is amazing with this group of kids. Teaching 20 4 year-olds is not an easy task, but she makes it look good! I am so thankful my son has her as his teacher. She is patient with them, yet stern. They know what is expected. Thank you for all you do! Thank you Mrs. Benson, for all you do for Page County Public Schools and the students you serve. You are appreciated.

Notice Regarding Acceptable Containers for Valentine's Day Flowers For Bus Riders: If anyone plans to send flowers to a student at school, please ask the flower shop to use a plastic vase or basket if the child is a bus rider. Glass containers and balloons are not permitted on the school bus, school van or school car, due to safety reasons. If the child drops the glass they could cut themselves or others, and balloons hinder a driver's vision and could cause an accident.
