Celebrating Our Classified Employees!

Governor Gregoire has proclaimed the week of March 9-13 as Classified School Employee Week, but here in Fife we’re celebrating all month!  (Please see our website for a schedule of socials to be held in their honor.) We are so lucky to have such an amazing group of dedicated support staff throughout our entire district.  Please take a moment to share your appreciation and thanks to a favorite bus driver, cook, office manager, receptionist, maintenance worker, custodian, educational assistant, playground duty, or technology support staff; or thank them as a group! These dedicated staff members help to create the capacity for teachers to do their jobs and for students to succeed.

  15. “Beside” …the dictionary meaning of Para. “Beside” that’s where you find our wonderful classroom and office assistants. Right beside us in the action, the joy, the frustrations in service to our students.

    Equally as important …”beside” and supporting your teaching partners or administrators with advice, nudges, cheers, ears and winks at all the right times.

  16. Leanna and Josi, the program has grown from your perspective and compassion. Thank you.

  17. To Sara and Janci, not only do you give your hearts to your work as well as your skills…you have given your backs….
    thousands of pounds…. and hundreds of pallet boards of testing materials lugged, unpacked and then packed by just you two! That heavy work gives a whole new meaning to you being a strong right arm to our work! With those strong right arms…you manage us well and we know not to mess with you “)

  18. …And I’d just like to say we have the BEST maintenance/grounds/custodial staff anywhere! Your hard work every day make all of us so proud to work in such a well maintained and beautiful school district!

  19. Our classified here at Endeavour are the best. Thank you for being such a valuable part of the Endeavour team. Everyday you brave the weather, deal with the unexpected, help our children become the best they can be and so much more. You all are so very appreciated.

  20. Thank you for all of the teaching, cooking, cleaning, and driving that you do. Our students are better able to learn because of your support.

  21. So many thanks to all of you. You are an important part of our student’s education and life. Your dedication is appreciated!

  22. Thank you so much to all of the Fife High School classified employees! Without your essential contributions, all of the crazy teachers would be without anchor. You provide the smooth and stable environment our students need to truly engage the work.

  23. What would we do without you? Thanks for the hours of dedication and hard work. You are appreciated!

  24. A huge thanks to all of our classified staff! We are so blessed to have all the amazing support that you give to all of us. We appreciate all that you do!

  25. To all Classified Employees of the Fife School District with special recognition to the ones that make my job at Discovery better. You are a very important part of the team that educates our children, whether you drive a bus, provide meals, cover recess/lunch duty, clean up after us or assist in classrooms, we couldn’t do it as well without you. As the saying goes, “It takes an entire village to raise a child”.
    I have to give an extra big thank you to the classified employee that I work with daily in the Library Den, Lynnette Crout. Without her the Library Den woulnn’t operate as smoothly as it does! I truly appreciate everything you bring to your duties in the Den! You are the best!
    Thank you Classified Employees!!!

  26. I have had the privilege of working in the Fife District for a long time and am very proud of what our schools look and feel like. I always get comments about how our grounds, buildings and atmosphere make “outsiders” feel when they drive by or come in for something. That first impression is one generated by ALL of you well before they see any of us. I don’t think our jobs would be what they are without the work YOU do. THANKS for everything.

  27. Hedden would not be able to function without our classified staff. Special thanks to Leean, Julianne, Leanna, Pearl, Shelley, Sherry, Deb, Deanna, Susan, Ray, Sharon, and Glenna for all they do, as well as everyone from Transportation and Maintenance. You make this a great place to work and teach kids!

  28. It is only with your help that the rest of us are able to function on a daily basis, thank you for making FHS a wonderful place to spend our days.

  29. Wow… where do I start? From the bus drivers and aides that deliver students to the school, to the food services staff who prepare special meals for some of our students, to the classroom staff and therapy assistants who support and deliver instruction… Add in the playground assistants and crossing guards that keep our kids safe… Maintenance and grounds who do everything from build a lifeskills classroom where there used to be an empty portable to keeping the rooms sanitary and safe, to giving kids support and meaningful work as they work on the grounds and buildings with you… Sprinkle in the tech staff who keep the networks running and allow us to take for granted the tools we use every day…And cap it all off with the office staff who help run the buildings and programs and make life manageable for everbody else… we couldn’t serve our kids without you. My most sincere thanks to the classified staff for the exceptional work that you do every day.

  30. Thanks to our fantastic classified employees! Fife High School is a better place because of your tremedous support.

  31. Each day runs smoothly thanks to the many classified employes. When I enter my sparking clean classroom I think how lucky I am to be at Discovery. I am always without worries about safety and care of my students due to the diligence and incredibly hard work of all the classified. Thanks to everyone! Cindy Berger

  32. Discovery Primary School’s classified staff members are an incredibly hardworking professional team. They are the first people our students come in contact with each morning and the last people they see before leaving us in the afternoon. Each and every classified employee at Discovery has a “can do” attitude. They work together to help out wherever needed and the students benefit from their care, attention, and incredible skill. Thank you to our educational assistants, kitchen staff, bus drivers, and office staff. We are so lucky to have you here.

  33. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You do so much to help the district run smoothly.
