You are the queen of multitasking. I honestly don’t know how you manage to do everything you do in a day with a smile on your face. You are so loved!
Wright Middle School has been amazing to work with! All of the staff have been friendly and helpful. I want to give a big shout out to Jaimi Noriega who works at the front desk. She is always pleasant and helpful whenever I am in the school building. She makes it simple and easy to meet with students and provide support. I wish more staff had her spirit!
Huge thanks to Ms. Heather Maggitt at Wright Middle School for supporting my daughter with a recommendation for a leadership scholarship! Your kindness and belief in her mean a lot to our family. (From Marlita Bevenue, Wright Middle School parent)
