Happy Administrative and After-School Professionals Week!

April 24, 2024
By Carlee Peterson, Principal

This week we celebrate the incredible work that all our administrative professionals and support staff do to serve our campus every day.  

We are grateful for our front office staff, Janice Daskam and Kelly Ehrhardt! Without them, I’m not sure what we would do. They keep us on track, answer phones, act as on-campus nurses, fill my calendar, answer parent and student questions, make copies, arrange for subs, organize events, and so much more. These women serve our staff, students, and families in more ways than we can count. They both have a servant’s heart!

I am also thankful for our amazing campus enrollment manager, Shannon Clancy. Shannon is doing a wonderful job connecting with prospective families to make them feel welcome at our school. She is extremely thoughtful and caring. Every family that enters our school has been impacted in a positive way by Shannon.  

We also appreciate Kathleen May, our wonderful recreation site coordinator. With Kathleen in charge, I never worry about our Cougar Club before and after school program. She keeps things organized, communicates with families, and enjoys developing relationships with our students. Thanks for all you do.  

In addition to these wonderful women, we are grateful for our amazing support staff! Our teacher’s assistants, lunch ladies, Cougar Club staff, and recess monitors give so much to help our campus run smoothly, and they each impact our students in many different ways!

Lastly, it is a blessing to have an assistant principal to work alongside and collaborate with. Eleanor Nichols is a gift to the Puyallup Elementary campus. Her knowledge, wisdom, patience, grace, and love for our students is immeasurable. She supports me in so many ways, and I am forever grateful for her.

Thank you for being such an essential member of our CCS Puyallup family. We are truly blessed to have so many people who support our students, parents, and teachers. Your hard work and dedication are an example to everyone on our staff! Thank you for being your best every day!  

We couldn’t do what we do without these wonderful staff members. They make our team great!
