This year Spring Lake reconized Kathy Shaw as an outstanding educator. Collegues said of Kathy:

 "I have worked at many school with many special education teachers over the year.  I am continually impressed with Kathy's deep commitment and love for her students.  She gives 110% every single day in her job and is always so pleasant and kind to everyone.  She truly cares about her students and is dedicated to their success.  We are so lucky to have Kathy on our faculty."

 "Kathy is amazing! She always does way more than her job description. She has even helped students, who have little home support, complete a book for a book report, and supported them with their final product. Kathy works so well with our team to do math reteach. She is always positive. She finds what it takes to get the job done and then does more than that. We are so lucky to have Kathy at Spring Lake!

Kathy works with children that require special services.  There are a number of stresses that go with that - including behaviors, parents, and a LOT of paperwork.   Kathy always tries to do things right for the children and right as far as legal paperwork requirements.  She may sigh or express her concerns but she always patiently perseveres.  Kathy is WONDERFUL!"

"Kathy is a hard working, talented, kind person.  She goes above and beyond in everything she does.  She has such a positive, can-do attitude.   She really cares about the students of Spring Lake Elementary plus the teachers.    She is a wonderful teacher and colleague!"


"Kathy Shaw is the most positive, happy, person ever!  In IEP's she is professional, positive and does such an awesome job explaining difficult things for parents.  She is a GEM and goes above and beyond when helping kids and teachers."  


"Kathy is simply amazing. For several years now, Kathy taken on a heavy load. The situation in Special Ed has not been easy and is still not easy, but Kathy has willing jumped in to pull her own load and so much more. Her willingness to help others and find ways to make a difficult situation better is truly admirable. Thanks Kathy!!!"
