Nov. 4, 2019 -- The CH-UH City School District strives for “A Culture of Excellence” in every aspect of the organization. At the heart of this pursuit are the 900+ employees in the district. In that spirit, each month CH-UH recognizes those employees who go above and beyond on behalf of our students and our school community. 

For October, CH-UH is honoring 12 people as the Tiger Team Members of the Month. Each honoree was nominated by a colleague--and in some instances multiple colleagues--for their dedicated service to the district. 

The honorees will be recognized at tomorrow night’s CH-UH Board of Education meeting.

 

  

"Karen, a dedicated instructor, in her 38th year of teaching, establishes a strong rapport with her students. She continually has a positive influence on her students both past and present, including myself. She is also a great support to her peers, teaching technology such as Google Classroom and Illuminate Ed throughout her department. "

 

"Mr. Cook stepped up and took the lead at Delisle while Dr. Williams was serving as interim superintendent, and he did a fantastic job. We are lucky to have him as a colleague, mentor and friend."

 

 

Martha Bayliss, Long-term Substitute - Art 

"When I think of the Energizer Bunny, I'm reminded that he keeps going, and going, and going. He has passion and determination. This is what Martha Bayliss has exuded from her very first day. From day one she has jumped right into her role, made connections with her students, collaborated with me, and expressed an eagerness to allow all of her students to explore the world of visual art and all of its possibilities."

 

 

"As a BLT member and 8th grade team leader, she demonstrates excellent leadership skills. As a teache,r she creates engaging lessons that allow students to learn math concepts in a variety of ways. She does whatever she can to make sure her students have the opportunity to master the content. If you happen to walk by Tiff in the hallway you are always greeted with a warm smile."   

 

 

"She gets to know her students at a personal level. She builds a feeling of community with each of her students' families; she knows that it is a team effort, to help her students grow both as students and as people. She is always trying new things and pulling others in to help her grow at her craft of teaching." 

 

 

"Being a new classroom teacher can be quite challenging, yet Emily has embraced this new position with excitement and eagerness. Emily is a team player in 4th grade and has even taken on the Tech Leader role for Canterbury. She reaches out for help when needed and is open to others' ideas for lessons and management. She is doing a great job!" 

 

 

"Ms. Bogus designs lessons that support student learning by including before reading, during reading and after reading strategies and a mixture of grouping configurations based on the purpose of the lesson. Her students become confident readers year after year. Ms. Bogus is a reflective teacher who always has her students at the heart of her decision-making process." 

 

 

"She is an amazing speech therapist, and meets with me and my staff on a regular basis to ensure the students have the best therapy possible. She is always willing to go the extra mile to make materials and problem solve. She is an expert at speech generating devices and assistive communication. I can't say enough about Rebecca!"

 

 

"They say that special teachers can and do make a difference every day in the lives in children and this especially holds true for Mary Windham. Mary treats each one of her students with great dignity and respect. She has helped create a positive environment that is very child-oriented and focuses on building positive self-esteem through high standards. Mary is our Noble Pride!"

 

"Ms. Jefferson is a lunch aide who is patient, caring , and has a positive word each day for staff and students at Oxford. She is bright and cheerful and takes the time to get to know the students. I have never heard Ms. Jefferson raise her voice, yet she has strategies to keep students at the proper noise level and following directions. I hope to become more like Ms. Jefferson in the years to come." 

 

 

"Kristen is uber-organized and always on top of her responsibilities. She communicates effectively with the Student Assistance Team to assure the required services and evaluations are being addressed. She is a pleasure to work with and always willing to lend a hand."  

 

 

"Ricky is one of the most helpful and good-natured people I've ever worked with. No matter how busy he is, he's always willing to take on whatever I ask him to do. Plus he's always got a smile and a friendly "hello" for everyone!"
