We are thrilled to recognize Julie Cummings as our outstanding Teacher of the Month for March. As a relatively new member of our teaching staff, Julie has already made a significant impact on our school community. With her previous teaching experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm that enriches the educational environment for our students. Julie goes above and beyond her typical teaching responsibilities, consistently demonstrating her commitment to ensuring that every student feels valued and important. She fosters a nurturing atmosphere in the classroom, where students are encouraged to express themselves and thrive academically and personally. In addition to her teaching role, Julie has generously volunteered her time as a drama club instructor, showcasing her passion for the arts and her dedication to providing diverse opportunities for student engagement. Currently, she serves as our BARR coordinator, a crucial position where she collaborates with fellow educators to identify students who may need additional support. Her contributions in this role are invaluable, reflecting her deep commitment to the success and well-being of all our students. We are excited to see what the future holds for Calais High School with Julie Cummings as part of our team. Her dedication and passion for education are bound to inspire both students and staff alike. Congratulations again, Julie! We are lucky to have you in our school community.

Please join me in celebrating Sa Li as our March Student of the Month. We are incredibly fortunate to have Sa Li as part of our student community.
