YAYWORTHY:

Nominator Jennifer Barak said:

"She jumped into her new position with great energy! She's always smiling, laughing and makes it a point to connect with all of our students, staff and parents from the community.

"As a classroom teacher, she went above and beyond to help me with a student who became ill in the hallway. Carmen noticed the situation from afar and she immediately came over to provide comfort and privacy for the student who was embarrassed. She wanted to assure the student that she would be OK and to not worry about anything else."

Thank you for all you do, Carmen Huante, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
