Rock Island Schools Reveal School And Parent of the Month January Winners
Miranda Jackson – Denkmann Elementary School, nominated by Patrick Versluis and Angie Paprocki
Miranda comes in often to volunteer in her daughter’s classroom and helps us out during the lunch session for 1st grade. She does a great job engaging with the students and she has built a positive relationship with the students and the staff during this time. Recently she also brought in a bunch of hats and mittens and donated them to all the students here at the school. Miranda helps and volunteers in our classroom. She has helped on field trips and in our lunchroom. She has donated hats, gloves, scarves, clothing to our classroom and school. She is a take-charge and ready to step in as a parent! She does a great job working with my classroom kiddos!
Charissa Sargent
Charissa Sargent – Edison Jr. High, nominated by Mrs. Idowu
Mrs. Sargent is delightful, she does a phenomenal job advocating for her child and supporting the educational team. Mrs. Sargent truly cares about the well-being of her child, and how she can help him at home and in the school setting. Mrs. Sargent asks great thought-provoking questions that challenge herself, her child, and the educational team to do our best. As an educator, it is a pleasure to serve Mrs. Sargent and her child. Thank you for simply being an amazing mom.
Cassie Gress – Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, nominated by April DeGroot and Brooke Bennett
I am nominating Casandra because she is very passionate about her child’s education. She continues to drive Rylan to be his best and understands what he is capable of. She also helps every Tuesday to fill my folders and that is such a blessing. I wish I had more active parents like her! Cassie is one of our Tuesday regulars that stuff our communication folders for her students’ classroom. She is always here and we don’t tell her thank you enough!
