Nominated by Kayleen Goddard
Kayleen describes Taryn as having heart, compassion, and empathy for those students struggling with behavior. Last November, when one of the students lost his mother in a car accident, Taryn immediately began gathering activities for the student and his siblings. She gathered books and art supplies, delivering them on her day off. She also attended the funeral and provided unselfish support to this family. Thank you, Taryn, for making the grief of a child a bit easier.
Allyson Cundiff & Lori Prantil, Instructors, NAELC
Nominated by Kami Cottrell
Four afternoons a week, you’ll find Allyson and Lori helping students at Naval Avenue’s Homework Club. Realizing that many of Naval Avenue’s students do not have a quiet place at home to focus on assignments, Allyson and Lori looked at options for providing an environment free of disruptions. Thus, the Homework Club was born. Students get extra help with their assignments in a quiet place. This results in greater classroom success. Thank you, Allyson & Lori, for freely giving of your time in support of Bremerton’s kids.
