Johnna Gamble of Thurgood Marshall nominated Tonya Willits
I would like to nominate Ms. Willits, mother of Taireace Turner. I run a program here at Thurgood Marshall that Taireace and his mother are a part of. Through this program, I have gotten to know Ms. Willits. We communicate biweekly, not only about Taireace and the program but her involvement in her son's education. She was very prompt about getting parent-teacher conferences set up and requesting additional work at home for Taireace so that he does not fall behind and stays ahead of the game. She is very respectful, easy to talk to, and gets back to me rapidly if she misses my call or text. I appreciate the relationship we have built based on communication, honesty, and trust since Taireace has started attending Thurgood Marshall. I truly believe she would be an excellent candidate for Parent/Guardian of the Month.
Rosaland Lee of Ridgewood nominated Liz Funkhauser
Liz is always here for her students and the students of Ridgewood School. She started out as a participating parent with our PTG (Parent Teacher Group) for several years. Now she is the president of our PTG. We can always depend on her whenever we need something. We truly appreciate all Liz does for our school.
Ms. Wright nominated Fabiola Cavazos - Rock Island Center for Math & Science
Fabiola cares about our school, students and staff. She's always willing to lend a hand, whether it's cleaning tables during lunchtime or assisting students in the lobby with doors. She and her family attend all of our after school events and can be found helping out there too. Fabiola likes to keep the staff happy and spoils us with supplies, candy and treats!
