October Shout Outs - Marigold Moments

Desiree Staugler, Staci Wagner, and Mary Glass for being a great team to work with and starting this school year out on the right foot! I appreciate all of you!
               ~Melissa Altman

Haley Schwab for walking us through a new OT test kit and Matt Ferguson for taking the time to share tidbits of information he learned about a different new test kit. That's the definition of Marigold Moments as Haley and Matt's time and efforts make us all better!
               ~Julie Patterson


Patricia Shotwell for her positive attitude, willingness to help with whatever is asked of her, always wanting to learn more ways to assist in making the "first face/voice of the NwOESC" even better, and just giving a smile and a friendly greeting to all of our staff and visitors. Thank you, Patricia!
               ~Linda Schlosser

Bronwyn Seiler, Miranda Vance, Amy Niese, Christi Miller, and Bre Keefer. Thank you for working hard as a team every single day. You have all helped and supported our students as well as me during this school year.
               ~Cheyenne Thomas

Matt Ferguson, Kori McQuillin, Gail Mason - All three of these therapists put in the extra effort to transition their old school districts, students, and myself into the new school year. They made time in their busy schedules to meet me at their old districts, showed me around, introduced me to staff, and assisted with the "passing of the torch." I appreciate their time, effort, and knowledge!!! If I didn't say it enough - Thanks again guys!! :). 

Megan Kopenhoffer for your assistance and knowledge as I know you are transitioning too!

Molly Knepley for your knowledge, assistance, and encouragement as well! :)

To all the rest of the Therapy staff that I didn't mention!! I'm so blessed to be part of a supportive, knowledgeable, and caring team. Thank you! :)
               ~Haley Schwab

Corey Todd for coming out to Defiance High School and helping me get my printer privileges restored! I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to drive to Defiance and assist with this technical issue so quickly. Thank you!

The Staff of Napoleon's JH/HS MD classroom would like to recognize Mr. Terry Lind, APE teacher. Mr. Lind arrives every week with a smile on his face and a warm greeting for each student. He is so kind and genuinely cares about each of our students. Mr. Lind is truly a treasure!

The students had this to say about Mr. Lind:
-He plans exciting and fun activities. The parachute was the best one so far!
-Mr. Lind is awesome! Mr. Lind is great!
-Mr. Lind is happy!
-He plays good music.

Northwest Ohio ESC staff make a positive impact in so many ways across our service area!  
We now have an easier way for staff to send “Shout Outs” about the great things happening in our classrooms, programs, offices and districts. Use the link below to share a submission, with the option of attaching a photo as well.

Thanks in advance for participating. Looking forward to sharing our story!
