This week’s Heritage Staff Spotlight is Venessa Cerda. Ms. Cerda is an experienced teacher with close to 20 years of service. She serves as team lead for first grade and is also the lead for a campus committee. Ms. Cerda is a strong advocate for her students and always does what is best for them. Her active involvement in campus initiatives is ongoing. Over the years, Ms. Cerda has been awarded several grants for our outdoor learning area and for our school beautification initiative. She is a dynamic teacher and serves as a role model for her colleagues. Currently, she is the Heritage Teacher of the Year. Ms. Cerda, thank you for all you do for your students, our school, and the community.
Our 5th Grade Spotlight Student for the week is Zyanya Guerrero. Zyanya is one of many hard working and dedicated students here at Heritage. She started attending Heritage in the 3rd grade, and we have watched her grow and excel in her academics. When first arriving at Heritage, she was shy and struggled to even come to school. Now she is a confident and happy student who serves in our student leadership program. Zyanya loves shopping for clothes and all sorts of jewelry. One of her other favorite things to do is draw, which she says comes from her dad’s love of drawing. Zyanya lets us know on a daily basis how much she enjoys coming to school, meeting new friends, and getting the help and support she needs. Zyanya’s smile and her contagious energy will be missed as she moves on to Matthey Middle School. Zyanya, congratulations for being selected as our Cardinal of the Week.
