North Side Elementary is proud to announce Keeley Glasper as the 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year!
If you know Keeley Glasper, she is one of the most organized teachers you will ever meet! Student data is neatly presented and lessons are well put together. Even though these are great things, they are not what makes Keeley a phenomenal teacher. Keeley is a calm and compassionate member of the North Side staff. If you walked down our primary hall, you would likely find Keeley working with a small group or see Keeley meeting one on one with a student. Keeley makes time for each individual child and builds relationships and shares in their interests. She is always calm and listens to her students and works with them to make their second grade experience the best it can be!
Keeley Glasper is part of many committees and is our High Ability School Liasion. She has started two great projects in our school. Our students now have free books available to them. Students choose their books before or after school and take them home to keep. They get so excited about the many choices and chance to build a home library. Keeley also started a school-wide recycling project overseen by her class. She reached out and received donated recycling bins for each classroom and her students collect the recyclables each week and help keep our environment safe and less polluted.
Even when handed the unforeseen virtual e-learning, Keeley stepped up and has gone above and beyond to provide the best education possible to her students. She provides exceptional lessons and looks out for all of their social and emotional well-being. She has also been known to appear on driveways writing chalk messages to students too!
Keeley’s passion for teaching, her students and East Noble are what make her an outstanding teacher! Congratulations Keeley Glasper on your nomination as Teacher of the Year for the 2019-2020 school year. It is well deserved!!! Keeley will be missed in the classroom next year as she starts her next chapter as she takes on a new position for our district involving ELL, HA and state testing.
Avilla Elementary School is excited to honor Trina Leffers as OUR Teacher of the Year and as a candidate for the Indiana Teacher of the Year! Trina has excelled in the classroom since 2004, teaching in 5th, 6th and now 1st grade. Regardless of the grade, her passion for her students remains a constant. She has become that one person that her students CAN ALWAYS rely on when needed. Her classroom activities are well differentiated and include many hands-on unique activities that make the student engaged in their own learning process. Her partnership she created with the University of Notre Dame continues as that unit of student is now enjoyed by the 4th grade students
Her fifth and sixth grade students had the opportunity to work with Engineering Department and learn about natural disasters, particularly earthquakes. Engineering students from ND came to visit Avilla students and introduced them to a Lego activity where they built buildings, to certain specs, over the course of a few weeks. Avilla students then facetimed ND students asking for advice. At the end of the build, Avilla students visited ND, ate in South Dining Hall, visited the Engineering lab and had their building tested on a Shake Table, visited the Hatti protype buildings that were built to sustain through an earthquake, and then attended a sporting event. Avilla Students have also been treated to visiting the football locker room, tapping the Play Like a Champion Sign, and then running out of the tunnel onto the field! This instruction may have started within the classroom, but then it expanded to a much larger scale. Students not only learned about earthquakes and engineering, but also learned about fundraising (as we had a fundraiser to donate to Engineering2Empower to help in Hatti), and what it means to show kindness to all.
As a testament to her excellence in education Trina has served as a mentor to beginning teachers and hosted several student teachers. As she continues to help guide student learning, she also continues to teach about acts of kindness and the importance that too plays.
Avilla is proud of Trina Leffers and wishes her continued success in all her endeavors and we are thankful she shares her talents at OUR school.
After months of hard work and dedication, it is exciting to announce that the East Noble Cyber Knights have progressed to the National Championship for Girls Go CyberStart 2020! Girls Go CyberStart is a fun and interactive online competition composed of digital challenges to introduce high school girls to cybersecurity. Girls complete a set of interactive challenges that represent realistic scenarios and threats faced by practitioners in the field of cybersecurity. Along the way they learn to use tools such as Linux Terminal, BitLocker, Wireshark, HTML, XSS cross-site scripting, SQL injections, Binary and Hexadecimal code, Cryptography and Steganography, and much more.
Our EN Cyber Knights are McKenna Arnett, Lori Strong, Payton Booth, and Keeley Vaught! They will be competing in the online National Championship on May 20th-21st. Thank you Mrs. Joest for your amazing leadership and guidance as our computer science teacher.
