Our student spotlight this week is on Maddox Lopez. Maddox is currently a 4th Grader, and joined our Heritage Family last school year. Maddox is a curious and enthusiastic student who loves to learn. From day one, Maddox has taken ownership of his own learning by setting goals for himself. Maddox comes to school daily with a positive attitude, eager, and ready to learn new knowledge. He does not skip a beat when it comes to learning. Maddox was selected to be a student leader for the fourth grade. This new role magnifies his leadership abilities that he already brings to the classroom. Maddox continues to show exceptional model student characteristics!
Please join us in welcoming Alexis Carreon to our Heritage Elementary family as our new 4th grade Special Education teacher! Alexis comes to us from El Paso and brings a strong background in Special Education along with a strong belief and enthusiasm for student success. Since joining us, she has hit the ground running by connecting with her 4th grade team, building relationships with students, and quickly learning how to best support all of their needs. Ms. Carreon is known for being flexible, kind, and eager to help. She has already shown that she is willing to take on any task that involves supporting students. We are truly grateful she made the move from El Paso to be a part of our campus, and we know this will be an exciting year with her on our team!
