Apollo Elementary School

Please help us congratulate Mrs. Lamberger, Occupational Therapist, on being awarded the "YOU ROCK Award"! Mrs. Lamberger is as selfless as they come. She is always willing to serve any student or staff member in various ways. She has recently taken on the challenge of designing and implementing a Regulation Station which has not been an easy or quick task. Mrs. Lamberger works hard to provide appropriate supports for not only the students she works directly with, but for all students at Apollo. We are fortunate to have Mrs. Lamberger here and value all she does! Please help us congratulate Mrs. Ewing, 3rd Grade Teacher, on being awarded the "PurposeFULL with Kindness" rock for August. Mrs. Ewing goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and supportive environment for her students every day. She brightens our days by extending kind words to students and staff in the hallways and is quick to offer a helping hand. Her dedication to fostering kindness in and out of her classroom makes a lasting impact on her students and colleagues. We are lucky to have Mrs. Ewing at Apollo!
