January 2019 Region 3 FCPS Cares of the Month Recipient
Congratulations to office assistant and web curator Pearl Graham on being recognized as the 2019 January FCPS Cares Recipient of the Month for Region 3 by the Department of Human Resources. Congratulations, Ms. Graham!
Below is the write up submitted by Mr. Bryan Buser, Multimedia Development Specialist at Gatehouse Administration Center and a colleague of Ms. Graham.
Pearl is the amazing website curator at Stratford Landing Elementary School. She has done an incredible job this year of helping to revamp the school website and to add many features which benefit the students, parents, staff, and community. Her robust events calendar is set up in a way that displays many of the events all the way through the end of the school year so that stakeholders are in the know for planning purposes. She has been involved in the process of adding an updated attendance form as well as the creation of a change in transportation form. Both of these allow for a more streamlined and simple process for parents to communicate with the school’s attendance office. She scheduled a photo shoot to show all of the many additions since the school’s recent renovation. She continually replaces the homepage photo with pictures from this shoot and from other photos taken during the school, each new picture with smiling faces while showing a different element of the student body. She is extremely thorough in her work, asks thought-provoking questions, seeks clarification when needed, is timely with email exchanges, and is very, very positive. She has added five features to the website since the start of this school year, each one spotlighting something unique happening within the school. Her homepage is full of well-written announcements and serves as one of the many methods that the school communicates with parents about happenings at the school. I have been highly impressed through each of my experiences with her as I’ve helped her with some additions and features with the SLES school website. Her website is the face of the school and, in her role as an office assistant, her smiling face is one of the first students and parents see each day when they walk past the main office.
