Legend of Learning - October 2023
Legend of Learning -October 2023 - Kristen Reardon Dear LaFayette Students and Staff: Congratulations to Mrs. Kristen Reardon, who was selected as the October 2023 Legend of Learning! Kristen is a Special Education Teacher at Grimshaw Elementary School. Individuals who nominated Kristen shared the following: In the time that I have been working at Grimshaw, I have personally witnessed Mrs. Reardon go above and beyond for students on many occasions. When I first started we had a student who had a difficult time communicating. Kristen came to my rescue! The relationship Kristen had with that student amazed me. She was able to figure out exactly what was wrong! Kristen then made me a laminated chart to assist the child with communicating. On another occasion, Kristen assisted a student who was new to the district and the student was struggling to adjust to a new school. Mrs. Reardon never gave up on this student and developed an amazing relationship to the point that this student now enjoys school. I have watched this student’s attitude towards school change tremendously and I feel this is mostly because of her relationship with Mrs. Reardon. The amount of care Mrs. Reardon has for her students will amaze anyone. She is always in a great mood and always willing to help. Mrs. Reardon is a special lady who goes out of her way for her students, Grimshaw is very lucky to have her. Kristen- Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence!
