Shout out to Ms. Kaley Brewer for her efforts in helping students recognize the importance of putting forth their best effort, not only in math, but in life. She has gone above and beyond her position as a math interventionist. Ms. Brewer is constantly seeking and researching a variety of resources inside and outside the district to help our students grow, as well as ensuring that students are recognized for their growth scores on the ATLAS assessments. She is modeling the 'grit' that she desires our students to show. Keep up the great work, Ms. Brewer!! #bearcatstrong
