Cindy Janes Among Distinguished Educators in CFSD

Congratulations to Cindy Janes, resource teacher at ECMS, for having been named one of three distinguished educators in this year's Teacher of the Year (TOY) competition. It seems appropriate that I write a bit about Ms. Janes.  She is a very modest and behind the scenes person who does not enjoy the limelight.  However, I'm am going to shine the light on her for a brief moment.  So, forgive me, Cindy.

Ms. Janes teaches resource.  Her expertise allows her to help the entire faculty to teach our students who have the greatest needs.  When I am perplexed about a student and have run out of solutions, Cindy is often the person to whom I turn.  Her knowledge about students and learning is vast.  Her advocacy for students is endless.  Her compassion and kindness are legendary. The students and parents with whom Cindy works will attest to her devotion and extraordinary skills.  

Our mission in public education is to teach all students.  Cindy Janes can teach them all.  She helps the rest of us to do the same.  Ms. Janes is part of our fabulous ECMS instructional team. In speaking to members of the team, they agree that she is the consummate colleague.  

Congratulations, dear Cindy.  Please join us at the Love Our Schools Gala to celebrate Ms. Cindy Janes' success on January 27 at Loew's Ventana Canyon.
