🌟 Congratulations to Park School’s Employee of the Month, Ms. Pat Freeland! 🌟 It is with great pleasure that we recognize Ms. Pat Freeland as the Employee of the Month for Park School. As a paraprofessional for our K-1 students, Ms. Pat consistently models "The Roadrunner Way" with her kindness, dedication, and unwavering support. She is always willing to help, whether it's covering duties, watching classes so teachers can take a restroom break, or even stepping in to assist where she sees a need—without ever being asked. Ms. Pat provides individualized interventions for students who need extra support in the general education classroom, ensuring they receive the assistance they deserve. She treats every student as if they were her own grandchildren, often bringing in extra snacks and prizes to brighten their day. You’ll find her in the hallways greeting students with smiles, waves, and jokes, spreading positivity wherever she goes. Her presence throughout the day is a testament to her commitment, and her willingness to work her tail off in any situation is truly inspiring. Ms. Pat truly embodies the heart of "The Roadrunner Way," setting an example for us all.
