Cardinal Spotlight Recognizes Kash Puga & Dawn Vontur

September 21, 2023 by melaniemorgan

In the bustling hallways of our school during transition times, one student stands out as a shining example of respect and responsibility. Kash Puga had a class job to be the caboose. He was walking in the hallway with his quiet sign up the entire distance from the cafeteria to his classroom, even after a friend skipped and jumped in front of him. In his actions, Kash embodies the spirit of camaraderie and consideration that makes our school community a better place.

Kindergarten teacher Dawn Vontur is an inspiring force within our school, not only for her young students but also for the entire staff. Every week, Mrs. Vontur takes time to send out reminders to staff and then collects heartfelt “shout outs” from her colleagues. This weekly kindness sharing peers’ words of appreciation and recognition for their hard work and dedication never fails to uplift our spirits. Whether it’s celebrating a colleague’s innovative teaching methods, their support during challenging times, or simply their infectious enthusiasm for education, Mrs. Vontur’s shout outs foster a sense of unity and motivation among us. Her genuine and consistent encouragement reminds us all of the impact we can have on each other and our students, making her a true beacon of inspiration within our school community.
