💙 Support Staff Spotlight 💙
At EDUPRIZE, we know it takes a village to keep our schools running smoothly—and that village includes the incredible support staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes every day. Our Support Staff Spotlight is a way to recognize and celebrate their dedication, hard work, and the heart they bring to our EDUPRIZE community.
Queen Creek
What they love most about EDUPRIZE:As a parent of EDUPRIZE students/parent volunteer, then a recess/lunch aide, then a paraprofessional and currently a part of the health office and front office staff, I have been able to see so many different aspects of the EDUPRIZE staff/community and I love the teamwork and feeling of family that thrives here.
