🌟 Staff Spotlight of the Week: Laura Pritchett! 🌟
Meet Laura Pritchett, one of our dedicated paraprofessionals at Westville for the past three years!
Laura loves being around children and finds joy in watching them grow both academically and personally. When asked what advice she would give to herself when she first started working here, she responded, "You will learn and grow more than you could ever imagine." 💬
Outside of school, Laura stays busy with her two sons, James and Jacob, who always keep her on her toes! She enjoys hiking and going on adventures with her family, making the most of every moment together.
Thank you, Laura, for being such an amazing part of our team! We are so lucky to have you at Westville! 💛
Reminder: There is no school tomorrow, Friday, May 2.
