Erika Gascho, the principal of EMS middle school, opened our faculty and staff appreciation chapel today with a heartfelt litany.

“We come to school each day

To a clean building

With a delicious lunch prepared for us

The lights are on, the heat or AC running

We get what we need from the front office

And we have a place to go when we aren’t feeling well

We have people to talk to when we need them

Lessons are prepared by experts in their content area and

Taught with care and consideration

Student schedules are created with intention

Letters of recommendation are written

And life after high school is figured out

Eterms are coordinated and executed

We have a library full of good books

We have transportation for field trips, games, and events

Our bills get paid and our school stays open

New students are added each year

And there is so much that happens beyond the school day

Concerts, plays, sports, musicals, banquets, lock-ins, socials…

Which all get communicated through emails, articles, and social media

All of this is possible because of the faculty and staff who make this school run

And run at an exceptional level

So today, for a few minutes, we are going to pause and be grateful for them….”

We are incredibly grateful for our outstanding faculty and staff. They are not only creative but also dedicated and hardworking. You can view the appreciation chapel here!
