Twinhill Elementary School is proud to recognize Diana Flores as the Alvord Unified School District Student of the Month for August 2005.
Diana has attended Twinhill Elementary School since kindergarten. When she first entered school, she did not speak a word of English. However, by the end of the school year, not only was she speaking English, but she was also reading and writing in English. Her academic success has continued throughout her school career at Twinhill.
Diana is now ten years old and in fifth grade. Her teachers have commented that she is cooperative and responsible. Her teachers have also noted that she has outstanding leadership qualities and excellent achievement. Diana is an outstanding student with strong character and a positive attitude toward learning. In her spare time, Diana enjoys playing with friends and skating. She also loves going to the movies.
Diana has a desire to learn and is motivated to study and do well. Mrs. Floes stated that when Diana saw the fifth grade students receive the President’s Award for Excellence last year, she set a goal to study and do her best to receive that same award. She is well on her way to achieving that goal.
It is a great pleasure to honor Diana Flores as the Alvord Unified School District Student of the Month for August 2005.
b. Certificated Employee of the Month:
Twinhill Elementary School is honored to recognize Colleen Mehegan as the Alvord Unified School District Certificated Employee of the Month for August 2005.
Colleen is an exceptional teacher who deserves recognition for her outstanding service to the students and teachers. Colleen’s contributions as a teacher have been exemplary. She is an inspirational teacher who creates a warm, caring relationship with each student and maintains high expectations for performance and behavior, which students meet with great success. She is highly skilled in motivating the students and consistently reinforcing positive behavior. Whenever you visit her classroom you observe the students’ joy and enthusiasm for learning.
Colleen has been teaching for twenty-five years, twenty-three of those years have been with Alvord. During her career, Colleen has made a positive impact on her colleagues. It is easy to see why she has been recognized as the Teacher of the Year on four separate occasions and honored in the Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers for four years.
It is a great pleasure to honor Colleen Mehegan as the Alvord Unified School District Certificated Employee of the Month for August 2005.
