Congratulations to Ms. Theresa Means of Chester Park Elementary for being the Support Staff Spotlight for the month of September!
Ms. Means served CCSD for 38 years. As a media specialist, her favorite part about her job is sharing her love of books and reading to children. She sometimes finds it difficult to find common ground with younger generations, but she is always there to listen and support them. She reminds her students, "Don't compare yourself to others, do you! Be respectful to yourself and to others. Try hard to do the right thing."
Thank you for all you do for our students Ms. Means! #ForwardTogetherforStudentSuccess
