TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK- STAFF SHOUT-OUT: "I have gotten to know Mr. Bolduc through the Chess program that he has developed at Madison. Teaching a Specials class, as parents we often don't have much interaction with these teachers at the elementary level. My oldest has been in Chess now for 5 years, and this year I got a chance to watch Mr. Bolduc in "action" as he helped students prepare for the state competition. State practices were held in the evening, and parents were invited to meet as well. I could really see his love for teaching the game and strategizing with the students. His passion radiates and makes the kids excited to learn new "moves" in the game. You can tell how much he loves teaching kids. My oldest is now teaching his younger brothers to play chess, and they can't wait to join Chess Club when they get into second grade. Thank you Mr. Bolduc for bringing Chess to Madison!!Thank you for sharing and teaching not only your passion for music, but love of Chess with your students! -Nicole Wills WCS is blessed with incredible teachers and staff who inspire, equip, and enrich students every day!

She is passionate about what she teaches, which is contagious to her students. Having three children with very different learning styles, interests and personalities, she managed to bring out the best in them and create continuous learners.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK- STAFF SHOUT-OUT: "Because of Mr.Coburn I am one of the youngest people in the state of Indiana (and I believe the youngest in the whole Aviation program) to have gotten their pilots license (17). I am one of 19 students that are now pilots because of him, and all of us now have the freedom to fly wherever we might want to go and have a career that is VERY rewarding pay and travel wise. Students are now realizing aviation is not a far-fetched dream and is very possible thanks to the amazing and only aviation teacher in our district. Aviation will be a very big part of Warsaw as it grows and Mr. Coburn should be recognized not just as a great WCHS teacher for inspiration, but also as someone that is having a major influence on what direction Warsaw takes in regards to Aviation.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK- STAFF SHOUT-OUT: "Mrs Williamson has an incredible heart and passion for 2nd grade. It’s been an incredible privilege to have all four of our girls in her class. Tami was the first teacher our oldest had at Jefferson after moving from another school district. She showed her that school is a fun and a safe place to learn. Mrs Williamson was a great introduction to the incredible Jefferson family of teachers and staff. Each one of our girls has loved their 2nd grade experience because she brings learning alive with readers workshops, learning showcases and sometimes a special visit from her dog Fletcher. We’re beyond thankful for the investment she’s made in our family and Winona Lake community. Thank you, Mrs Williamson! We love our Jefferson staff. They have been an incredible foundation for our girls education." -Jeri Purdy WCS is blessed with incredible teachers and staff who inspire, equip, and enrich students every day!
