😺🎉This week, the Wildcat staff spotlight shines on the dedicated teachers of the TPA 7th/8th grade wing: Maribel Lootens, Colin Smith, and Jenny Baudizzon. This amazing team is a true asset to our school, with each member contributing their unique talents.

Colin Smith, with 32 years of experience, brings a wealth of knowledge to his Language Arts and History classes. He continually inspires students with fresh ideas and his diverse passions, from chess and bird watching to bread making and mountain biking.

Maribel Lootens is a truly gifted educator who brings science to life daily. She challenges students in her Spanish 1 and Yearbook classes, ensuring they are thoroughly prepared for the academic rigor of high school.

Jenny Baudizzon, a WES Alumni, has returned home after graduating from UC Davis. She infuses Math and Science lessons with her joy for learning and fresh perspectives. Her favorite aspect of working at WES is our strong sense of community.

We are incredibly lucky to have this strong and dedicated team, who consistently make learning an engaging experience every day!😺🎉

😺🎉Weaverville Elementary School and Trinity Preparatory Academy would like to shine this week’s spotlight on our incredible Director of Independent Studies and Teacher, Tori Geist! She runs a great program, works hard supporting her students and always makes sure to keep them connected on campus by participating in sports, performing arts and field trips.

We are so grateful for everything Mrs. Geist brings to our school, she even brought her basketball expertise to our TPA Girls Basketball team this year by helping coach our young athletes.

What is her favorite part of working at WES/TPA? She says, “I love the people that I work with here and the support my program gets. The families I get to work with are amazing!”

We think Mrs. Geist is amazing- and we appreciate all she does for our campus family and our community!😺🎉
