Let's take a moment to say THANK YOU to this week's SFSD All Star: Matt Marsh at Garfield Elementary! He was nominated by his colleagues Emily Knight, Sydney Raabe, and Brooklyn Stekl, and they had this to say, "Matt always goes above and beyond for teachers. He is very dependable. He does more than what he is asked to do. He is always willing to help out any teacher in need with a positive attitude. Matt also goes out of his way to develop positive relationships with students. Strong relationships are proven by research to assist with the development of resilience in children who have experienced adversity. Matt shows that no matter your role in a school, you can make an impact on the student body." Thank you Matt, for all you do!

Let's take a moment to recognize the most recent SFSD All Star: Ruth Claussen! Ruth is the heart and soul of Murphy's - the Lincoln High School Cafeteria. Each day, she serves up hundreds of meals to hungry teenagers with a smile on her face and with a can-do spirit that portrays excellent customer service! Recently, when a police situation in the neighborhood made it necessary to cancel open lunch, she didn't skip a beat and somehow came up with extra pizza to feed the 250 students who were not able to leave that day. Throw in the occasional power outage and a ceiling leak here and there, and Ruth clearly qualifies as an SFSD All Star! Congratulations, Ruth!
