Today, we get to celebrate our friend and coworker, Miss Bever, as Teacher of the Year and there is truly no one more deserving.
This award recognizes educators who demonstrate outstanding dedication, innovation, and the ability to elevate student engagement. She doesn’t just meet those standards, she embodies them.
She goes above and beyond in ways big and small. She loves her students fiercely and intentionally. She shows up to their games, performances, and activities outside of school because she believes who they are beyond the classroom matters just as much as who they are inside it. She encourages their passions, celebrates their victories, and reminds them they are capable of more than they realize.
Walk into her classroom and you immediately feel it, the energy, the creativity, the joy. She transforms her room for holidays and special events, creating experiences that make learning exciting and unforgettable. There is often a touch of pink, her favorite color of course, thoughtful details everywhere you look, and an atmosphere that feels both magical and safe.
A proud BYU graduate, she carries excellence with humility. A dedicated Taylor Swift fan, she understands the power of storytelling and connection, and probably has the perfect lyric ready for any life lesson. And her sense of humor? Absolutely contagious. She brings laughter into hard days and reminds all of us, students and staff alike, not to take ourselves too seriously.
Her innovation isn’t about flashy trends; it’s about meaningful impact. She constantly finds new ways to engage students, to reach the quiet ones, to challenge the confident ones, and to make every child feel seen.
As a colleague, she is supportive, collaborative, and generous with her time. As a friend, she is steady, encouraging, and real.
This recognition isn’t just about what she teaches. It’s about how she makes people feel.
Our students are lucky. Our school is better because of her. And we are beyond proud to stand beside her and celebrate this moment.
Congratulations, Miss Jessica Bever, Teacher of the Year. You are excellence, heart, pink sparkle, and just the right amount of magic, all wrapped into one incredible educator.
We are so proud of these incredible students for starting the new year with kindness, responsibility, and a positive attitude! Their hard work and great choices do not go unnoticed. 💛

🎨✨ Yearbook Cover Contest Voting Week! ✨🎨
In art class with Mrs. Howard, students in second through fifth grade have been designing yearbook covers inspired by our theme: “Be Kind, Be Excellent.” As they created their artwork, students learned how colors, images, and symbols can communicate powerful messages about kindness and excellence in our school community. ❤️💙
Our faculty narrowed it down to their 100 favorites, and from there, Mrs. Ribble selected the top 20 finalists. Now it’s the students’ turn. They’ll be voting this week to choose the final winning cover!
The final 20 designs won’t be revealed just yet, we’re keeping them a surprise until voting ends. 👀✨
The winner will be announced next week and will receive a FREE yearbook at the end of the school year! 📘🌟
We are so proud of the creativity, heart, and thought our students put into their designs. Take a look at some of the top 100! And stay tuned for the big reveal!
